Plane collides with Blackhawk helicopter Washington DC

A thousand hours total is extremely low. A thousand hours in a specific platform isn't necessarily. And no pilot is going to experience everything. A long Blackhawk mission is two hours, with many of their flights being an hour or less. When you're talking short flights like that, 1,000 hours gets quite a bit of experience, and deals with quite a bit.

They're looking at human error, because a midair is always human error on some level. The question is who, and how.

That makes sense that flying the same route often certainly does make one very experienced with that one route, but does not add valuable experience in different scenarios. Now I am learning the helicopter was flying at the wrong elevation.
