An instructor pilot and a copilot were involved in a training mission over the Potomac River on Wednesday. The instructor pilot had approximately 1,000 flight hours, while the copilot being evaluated had around 500 hours of flight experience. These details were confirmed by Army official Jonathan Koziol, a retired CW5 aviation expert and chief of staff of the Army’s Aviation Directorate.
According to Koziol, both pilots were considered experienced for the mission. Black Hawk training missions typically last around two hours each, providing valuable hands-on experience for the pilots involved.
