Feb 6 (Reuters) - A key safety system was turned off on a U.S. Army helicopter that collided with an American Airlines AAL.O regional jet last week near Washington Reagan Airport, killing 67.
Senate Commerce Committee chair Ted Cruz told reporters the Black Hawk helicopter had turned off its automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B), which is permitted for military aircraft.
"This was a training mission, so there was no compelling national security reason for ADS-B to be turned off," Cruz said.
