00:00And we are going to look at one more important element,
00:03which is radio communication between the control tower and the aircraft.
00:07You can hear the controller asking the pilot of the military helicopter
00:11if he has visual contact with the aircraft.
00:13For you to understand, the operator uses the term PAT to refer to the helicopter.
00:19Military aircraft are used.
00:21And it also says CRJ, which is the American Eagle aircraft model.
00:27So with this, listen.
00:31Pat 25, this is CRJ on site.
00:34Pat 25, Pat 500, this is CRJ.
00:37Oh, did you see that?
00:39American 3130, go around, turn left, and 250, climb and maintain 3000.
00:43Right, I was just trying to go around 3000.
00:46Blackjack 3, can you return to base?
00:50Blackjack 3, repeat directly to Glebe, I need you to land.
00:54I need you to land immediately. Can you go to Dallas for a few minutes?
00:58Marshall 7, this is CC westbound, contact Dallas tower 120.
01:04Marshall 13, can you go to Baltimore?
01:07He didn't go to Baltimore.
01:08Immediately, for you to understand, pilot Luis Quiñones,
01:11welcome again to Noticias Telemundo Ahora,
01:13who is a former naval pilot, also currently a commercial pilot.
01:18There are several images and audio on the table.
01:21Let's start with those images of the collision.
01:23When you see that collision,
01:25you, as a pilot, who has also flown in that area,
01:28how do you interpret those images?
01:31It was a mistake of the helicopter pilot.
01:33When you realize it, everything will fall on him.
01:36Because in reality, the plane that is landing has the right of way.
01:40That is, it is the slowest plane that comes with the landing gear,
01:43the flaps down.
01:44They are on a proven route.
01:47The helicopter is only traveling according to visual rules.
01:52That is, there are no instruments.
01:53He had to be in contact.
01:55The problem is that the military system uses some channels.
01:59We don't use frequencies.
02:01In the civil service, frequencies 1 and 18.22 are used, for example,
02:06while they use a channel called channel 1, channel 2, channel 3.
02:10And that cannot be heard in the air.
02:12That is, the airline pilots did not know what they were talking about.
02:17And obviously, we couldn't hear.
02:20I was trying to find the audio of the helicopter pilot's response,
02:24but I couldn't find it because it's military frequency.
02:27And there the pilot is asking him if he can see the helicopter,
02:32that is, the plane.
02:33That is, the helicopter had the obligation to see the plane,
02:38report that they had it in sight.
02:40And then they could tell him to continue his trip
02:44and you, the commercial plane, land.
02:47But they didn't get to that point.
02:49What amazes me is why he suddenly went up in height,
02:54because he was fine at the height he had to be.
02:57There is a question.
02:58There, near the airport, two miles away,
03:01and one is half a mile above the water,
03:04there is an area where there are some cranes,
03:07those very high ones that are 300 feet high,
03:11and they have some lights.
03:13Possibly in the dark, the pilot didn't notice.
03:16Suddenly he saw an obstacle with a light in front of him
03:20and he had to try to dodge it
03:22and he didn't realize that the plane was still up there.
03:25Now that you say this,
03:27what did the commercial pilot know about what was happening in the military aircraft?
