“Well, we're having a problem with maintenance, It's Sunday, and it's Super Bowl” This poor Jet Blue pilot tries to make a in-range call to their ops about a maintenance issue thinking they’re transmitting on their ARINC freq going into Nashville when in fact they were transmitting on 121.5...

Here’s the MARINE ONE ATC audio from yesterday. M1 made several calls to NATIONAL TOWER (DCA) on the helicopter specific frequency advising they are 3 minutes from lifting. Tower here’s them briefly on one attempt and say’s they’re broken and unreadable. M1 then lifts getting a better radio line of sight to the tower cab and say’s they’re on the go. Tower comes back confused, saying, “Ok, no 3 minutes, roger” and there ensues confusion from the Tower as they just cleared a Embraer Regional Jet off Runway 01 which the runway basically points towards the Ellipse. M1 calls the traffic insight and decides to pause (smart pilots). While this Envoy Air jet is required to perform a left turn upon departure to avoid the P-56 Prohibited airspace that encompasses the Ellipse. You have a jet accelerating towards the helicopter carrying POTUS in an extremely nervous environment especially since the post DCA crash in 2025. Contributing factors are a relatively new landing zone for M1, DCA tower acknowledging M1 but can’t understand, a busy tower frequency already with several local, federal, and military helicopters already consuming the frequency. Being in tune *pun with VHF airband communications, operating helicopter and trying to call ATC from the ground. Sometimes you can hear ATC and they can hear you and the next minute (especially when you are on the cusp of line of sight comms) It can come down to a variety of factors including atmospheric conditions and just exactly how your antenna is pointed and in some cases this can be a matter of feet or less. The “angle of the dangle” if you will. I don’t know what procedures are in place for M1 communicating with ATC on the ground at the Ellipse besides VHF airband. I can tell you post this incident, I’d have an open telephone line to the tower cab during this whole pickup/dropoff evolution to ensure broken comms are received and understood. And or, I’d have a complete ground stop at DCA while M1 is on the ground. PS. There have been airliners departing DCA in the past and have missed their turn and penetrated the P-56 Prohibited airspace. So while it wasn’t as big of a deal this time, It could potentially be in the future if not addressed. Has something like this in the past happened?… probably but it’s just got now a microscope over the whole area every time these is one slight mix up or mess up. At lease the helipad is getting installed at the WH. Audio via ATC

This is a “Big nothing burger” to quote Van Jones. The Blackhawk in this instance was playing by the rules. They not only descended to remain clear of the Class Charlie shelf but did so by at least 450’ which I’m assuming because they wanted to be sure that they were not going to cause havoc for the arrivals into SNA. Listening to the tapes via ATC situational awareness prevailed, this was VMC conditions, KNIFE25 was not obligated to be on freq with SOCAL APPR, the United pilots had them in sight, the TCAS gave them a RA as it should. I’m not sure what prompted SNA Twr to make that remark to 589 as they rolled out, “This shouldn’t have happened”. I think it’s because everyone is on edge post the DCA accident. And maybe the SNA controller has a beef with SOCAL, who knows! The other day I was cleared to cross a Class C airport with MEDEVAC status by the tower. A Envoy ERJ was on a long visual final. I had the airplane insight, had them on my TCAS, tower confirmed with me that I had them insight. I was doing a 150 knots and much closer to the airport than the ERJ which was doing around 130 knots. The panic of this ERJ pilot was something else, you could tell she had no situational awareness, kept asking the controller where I was, was I a safe distance away, etc… etc. The controller politely asked if I’d climb another 500’ for the crossing most likely to put these ERJ pilots at ease which I happily obliged to. But I was thinking in my head as I started my climb, I’m going to bleed airspeed to climb and our separation is going to get closer now because these ERJ pilots sound like they don’t really have a clue as to what’s happening. Props to the tower controller for recognizing the situation and trying to put the ERJ pilot’s minds at ease. It was one of those moments where the controller and I were on the same page trying to hand hold the inexperienced pilots consuming the airspace.
