The REAL Probable Cause of DCA Midair

Nothing unusual was happening in the airspace over Washington, D.C. on the night of January 29, 2025 — and that’s exactly what made it dangerous. In this episode of TakingOff, Dan Millican breaks down the NTSB’s final public board meeting on the DCA midair collision that killed 67 people. After more than seven hours of testimony, simulations, and analysis, the Board made one thing clear: this accident was not the result of a single pilot’s mistake. We walk through what the NTSB found by examining: • Flight simulations and reconstructed flight paths • The operational history of helicopter routes around DCA • Air traffic control workload and frequency management • FAA decisions that reduced safety margins over time • How “normal operations” became normalized risk This is a deep dive into systemic failure, not speculation — and why blaming one pilot or one controller misses the real cause of the tragedy. The NTSB’s final report is expected soon, and we’ll continue covering it when it’s released. Join AEROVERSE!
