The National Transportation Safety Board questioned witnesses Friday on collision avoidance technology and organizational systems to manage risk. It is the third and final day of investigative hearings probing January’s midair collision between a US Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines regional jet,

Investigators so far have highlighted several factors that may have contributed to the collision, which left 67 people dead.

The board focused on air traffic control and heard it was common for pilots to ask to use visual separation — relying on eyesight — just as the Army Black Hawk’s pilot agreed to do the night of the crash.

Although the D.C. Council cleared the RFK Stadium deal in its first vote, the advancement showed several members had to be convinced to do so.

A second vote will be scheduled for September and will require the green light from nine members of the council.
