Two KEY WORDS from the voice recorder (airliner):
TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC automated announcement by system in cockpit immediately preceeding 'crew verbal reaction' (oh shit!!!?) and plane increasing pitch (turning descent into ascent), then impact sounds about 1 second later, and then the end of all recording.

A pilot on approach is focused on the runway, with his (her) hand on the throttle in case a go-around is required. A plane on approach has virtually no other options - land or go-around. These pilots must have seen the helicopter at the last instant and advanced the throttle (which would have initiated a climb.

ty, Zim and ribit. You both diplomatically oiled the broiling waters.

The female pilot's identity was withheld AT THE REQUEST OF THE FAMILY. Seeing the outlash at the previously UNINVOLVED female Armed Services person, no one in their right mind would wish to cope with that kind of crap while grieving over the loss of their quite accomplished and honorable daughter, who served with distinction.

I find it far more interesting that not a single thing is known/published about the controller - just that his voice is male. Was he a DEI hire - and, if so, what type of 'D' was he ?

How 'bout we START with his name - since the name of the female command pilot was so damned important to so many ?
