I'm thinking you're not quite understanding the nature of the missions many of these helos undertake.
I personally don't think the practice should be allowed, but that's why we need to have a discussion. We need to determine how necessary are these practices?
That said, I can guarantee you that the ideas you put forth would be rejected by government and military planners. Those ideas would defeat the entire point of some missions. What we can do is talk about whether or not DCA is a facility that should be open? Things of that nature.
But any ideas that result in tipping off the mission will be non-starters for the guys and gals seated on the military/intelligence side of the table.
- wat10000 2y agoI don't understand what you mean. What is it about these flights that would make it impossible to prohibit them from flying under the 33 approach while it's in use, or prohibit incoming traffic from landing on 33 while these flights are nearby? Why can't they use ADS-B?
