Originally published at: Defense Bill Requires Military Helicopter Alerts Near Busy Airspaces
Bill seeks expanded reporting and new safety measures following January collision.
Infortunately this is a case of knee jerk reaction.
Spending a lot of money to do anything that appears to do something, but wasnt really a factor.
Typical politicians.
The fact is the helicopter crew was alerted and verified the traffic, and was not within their assigned airspace.
Pilot errors.
Adding an electronic alert that is inhibited at that altitude will not change anything.
Nor effect those pilot errors.
Actual measures that would prove more mitigating would be a rewrite of the airspace providing more seperation.
