The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board will hold a Jan. 27 hearing to determine the probable cause of a fatal collision between an American Airlines regional jet and a U.S. Army helicopter in January 2025 that killed 67 people.
Last month, the Justice Department said the federal government was liable in the collision. The Army Black Hawk helicopter involved in the crash was flying above maximum altitude levels at the time and was not using ADS-B, or automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast, an advanced surveillance technology that transmits an aircraft’s location.
