The NTSB had a meeting today on the probable cause of the mid-air collision in Washington D.C. last January between a passenger jet and a Blackhawk helicopter. "We should be angry, because for years no one listened. This was preventable, this was 100% preventable."
Follow along here and on @theaircurrent.com today as the investigation into one of the worst aviation tragedies in years comes to an end. I’ll be live blogging from the hearing room all day.
Member Graham: "There will be some times where individual errors may be noted throughout the course of the day in relation to this accident. But I want to make it crystal clear any individual shortcomings were set up for failure by the systems around them."
NTSB Chair Homendy says that the staff's reading of the Board's findings, probable cause and draft recommendations will alone take *over an hour* -- and that does not include the time it will take to deliberate and vote.

Why are helicopter folks so skeptical of eVTOL developers' projected certification timelines? In part, it's because the 🚁 industry has struggled to get even basic safety upgrades certified by the FAA in recent years, as I wrote about for Vertical Magazine: verticalmag.com/features/tra...
