Runways 1/19 handle 95% of commercial aircraft arrivals. Runway 33 sees about 4% of arrivals, and runway 15—due to its close proximity to the Pentagon—handles less than 1%. Runways 4/22 are too short for commercial aircraft. During north operations, which were in effect at the time of the collision, most arrivals occur on runway 1, with intermittent arrivals on runway 33, depending on traffic demands and separation requirements. Use of runway 33 is typically limited to smaller aircraft, which are able to land on its relatively short 5,204-foot-long (1,586 m) surface.<a href="#cite_note-NTSB_Preliminary_Report-22">[21]</a> On the night of the collision, air traffic control (ATC) staffing was below the typical level for that time and traffic volume, according to a preliminary Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) safety report.<a href="#cite_note-Ember_2025-31">[30]</a> Normally, the tower would have six controllers: assistant local control, ground control, clearance delivery, local control, and an operations supervisor.<a href="#cite_note-NTSB_Preliminary_Report-22">[21]</a> At 9:30 p.m., when air traffic usually decreases, the helicopter control and local control positions are typically combined. However, on the day of the collision, the supervisor merged those positions at 3:40 p.m.<a href="#cite_note-NTSB_Preliminary_Report-22">[21]</a> to allow one controller to leave early. The air traffic controllers' union cautioned against assuming the combined role would make conditions unsafe.<a href="#cite_note-32">[31]</a> Helicopter control and local control operate on different radio frequencies, meaning the crews of Flight 5342 and PAT25 were not able to hear each other’s transmissions to the controller, but both could hear the controller's responses.<a href="#cite_note-NTSB_Preliminary_Report-22">[21]</a> <a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a> reported that, as of September 2023, the tower at Reagan Airport was nearly a third below targeted staffing levels.

The controller asked if the crew could switch to runway 33. The crew accepted the switch and was cleared to land on runway 33. The helicopter was about 1.1 <a href="/wiki/Nautical_mile" title="Nautical mile">nautical miles</a> [nmi] (2.0 km; 1.3 mi) west of the <a href="/wiki/Key_Bridge_(Washington,_D.C.)" title="Key Bridge (Washington, D.C.)">Key Bridge</a> following Helicopter Route 1 to Helicopter Route 4. At 8:46 p.m., about two minutes before the collision, the controller called the helicopter crew advising them of a CRJ700, at an altitude of 1,200 feet (370 m), south of the <a href="/wiki/Woodrow_Wilson_Memorial_Bridge" class="mw-redirect" title="Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge">Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge</a>, circling to runway 33. The part of the transmission advising that the CRJ was "circling" was not captured by the helicopter's cockpit voice and data recorder and may not have been heard by the helicopter crew. The helicopter crew acknowledged that they had the jet in sight and requested <a href="/wiki/Visual_flight_rules" title="Visual flight rules">visual separation</a>—meaning that they could see and maintain separation from the aircraft on their own—which the controller approved. Still, it is unclear whether they were acknowledging the correct aircraft.<a href="#cite_note-NTSB2025-02-14-16">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-Peluffo_2025-33">[32]</a><a href="#cite_note-34">[33]</a>[<a href="/wiki/Talk:2025_Potomac_River_mid-air_collision#Inclusion_of_WaPo_3D_analysis" title="Talk:2025 Potomac River mid-air collision">discuss</a>] At 8:47 p.m. EST, twenty seconds before the collision, the controller asked the helicopter crew if they had the CRJ in sight with an audible air traffic radar conflict alert in the background. One second later, the airliner crew received an automatic <a href="/wiki/Traffic_collision_avoidance_system#Types_of_traffic_and_resolution_advisories" title="Traffic collision avoidance system">traffic advisory</a> from their <a href="/wiki/Traffic_collision_avoidance_system" title="Traffic collision avoidance system">traffic collision avoidance system</a> (TCAS) which was accompanied by an <a href="/wiki/Voice_warning_system" title="Voice warning system">audible announcement</a> in the cockpit, "traffic; traffic." However, TCAS <a href="/wiki/Traffic_collision_avoidance_system#Types_of_traffic_and_resolution_advisories" title="Traffic collision avoidance system">resolution advisories</a>, with audible instructions like "climb; climb," or "descend; descend" are automatically disabled when an aircraft is below 900 feet (270 m) above ground level, to avoid guiding an aircraft into potential collisions with terrain or other aircraft in congested terminal airspace.<a href="#cite_note-Regan-2025-3">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-NTSB_Preliminary_Report-22">[21]</a> TCAS traffic advisories are disabled below 400 feet (120 m).<a href="#cite_note-NTSB_Preliminary_Report-22">[21]</a> Seventeen seconds before the collision, the controller instructed the helicopter to pass behind Flight 5342. One of the helicopter crew members depressed a mic for 0.8 seconds to communicate with the controller during this transmission, which may have caused the "pass behind" part of the transmission to be missed by the helicopter crew. The helicopter crew again confirmed they had an airplane in sight and requested visual separation from the airliner, which the controller approved again. The instructor pilot in the helicopter told the pilot flying that they believed the controller was asking the aircraft to move to the east bank of the Potomac River. Seven seconds before the collision, the airliner "rolled out on final" (finished its turn) to line up with runway 33. One second before the crash, the airliner increased its pitch with its <a href="/wiki/Elevator_(aeronautics)" title="Elevator (aeronautics)">elevators</a> deflected close to its maximum nose-up travel.<a href="#cite_note-NTSB2025-02-14-16">[15]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><video id="mwe_player_1" poster="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f5/Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm/220px--Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm.jpg" controls="" preload="none" data-mw-tmh="" class="mw-file-element" width="220" height="147" data-durationhint="11" data-mwtitle="Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm" data-mwprovider="wikimediacommons" resource="/wiki/File:Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm"><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/f/f5/Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm/Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm.480p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="480p.vp9.webm" data-width="720" data-height="480" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/f/f5/Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm/Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm.720p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="720p.vp9.webm" data-width="1080" data-height="720" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/f/f5/Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm/Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm.1080p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="1080p.vp9.webm" data-width="1620" data-height="1080" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f5/Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-width="1620" data-height="1080" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/f/f5/Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm/Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm.144p.mjpeg.mov" type="video/quicktime" data-transcodekey="144p.mjpeg.mov" data-width="216" data-height="144" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/f/f5/Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm/Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm.240p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="240p.vp9.webm" data-width="360" data-height="240" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/f/f5/Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm/Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm.360p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp9, opus"" data-transcodekey="360p.vp9.webm" data-width="540" data-height="360" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/f/f5/Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm/Reagan_National_Airport_mid_air_collision_CCTV.webm.360p.webm" type="video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"" data-transcodekey="360p.webm" data-width="540" data-height="360" /></video><figcaption>Security camera footage from one of the airport terminals shows the two aircraft colliding.</figcaption></figure> The two aircraft collided at 8:47:59.
