0.82 Miles Apart: How Marine One Went Silent Twice in a Month
A warning call never heard, a backup that failed, and 0.82 miles of daylight over Reagan National — with the president aboard twice.
Wat we eerst wisten
- Controllers warned HMX-1 pilots on July 30 that warning calls were going unheard.
- Aug. 4 calls failed completely then unreadably due to Ellipse radio geometry.
- Aug. 27 direct and backup calls failed again; audio confirms loss.
Toen nog open
- No verified cause for the August 27 recurrence or whether separation was lost again.
Waar we op zouden letten
- Whether the NTSB assigns a final probable cause and what replaces the Ellipse workaround.
