The pilot recalls a 2022 meeting with Helicopter Lcso, which led to a complaint of FAA, corrective action – WCTV

Tallahassee, Florida (WCTV) – Nearly two weeks after a collision between an American Airlines aircraft and a military helicopter, the tragic incident brought memories of a Tallahassee pilot, who said he had a meeting in the sky that was too close to comfort.

Federal aviation administration researcher justified the pilot’s complaint against the helicopter of Leon County Sheriff for an incident that had happened more than two years ago.

A LCSO spokesman said the aviation unit had taken corrective action. She added that the department did this on its own and that it was not required by FAA.

While the FAA found that the two aircraft were more than 500 feet away, Breeze said they had passed close enough to scare him and report the incident to the authorities.

“And then I think something good appeared from him. We can reflect news about something much more. We can cover a tragedy here and we will never understand, “Breeze said.

To make it clear, in this case, no collision occurs, although the FAA found that LCSO was unable to use its transponder despite the requirements. Breeze complained to FAA, which justified its claim that LCSO should have its transponder.

The sheriff office spokesman said the transponder was not a malfunction, it was simply not turned. LCSO said it had taken corrective action and changed procedures since then to ensure that such an incident did not occur in the future.

“Many people go through things, so I certainly don’t want to rub raw emotions or something. But there is a real opportunity to learn from this and things that need to be improved so that they never happen again, “Breeze said.

Alan Campbell, a pilot who has been flying for decades in both the military and Delta Airlines, said he believed that the technology for avoiding collisions was as good as he would get – at least for now. He believes that most incidents are reduced to human mistake.

“I like to tell people that I have been flying 37 years about Delta Airlines and I have never had an incident, I have never had a flat tire, I have never got off the track, has never had an engine damage,” Campbell said. “So when you see these accidents on an airplane, even for someone like me to fly 37 years, they are incredibly unique.”

In this case, a LCSO spokesman said their aviation unit had analyzed and made procedural changes.

Breeze said he was happy that the law pilot was not sanctioned and his intention to talk about this incident was to guarantee safety in the future.

LCSO’s full statement of the incident can be found below.

“As for the 2022 incident, the report came to the conclusion that a safe 500 -foot separation was maintained between the aircraft and the helicopter.

LCSO has determined that the helicopter does not transmit the ADS-B signal at this time. It was an opportunity for analysis and procedural changes to improve safety.

FAA had no violations of the LCSO pilot’s provisions or procedures and no sanctions were imposed. “

To his point of view of human mistake, Campbell believes that the helicopter pilots probably believe they admit that they have seen an airplane when asked by air traffic controllers.

Campbell believes they just watched the wrong.

He said he was glad that military and civil operations are now being divided into Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

“And in principle, it takes the air traffic controller out of the photo,” he said. “What [the controller] not of course it is [the military pilot] He sees this plane, not this plane. “
