Investigators have not found any material problems or common piloting errors linking a series of fatal UH-60 Black Hawk crashes over the past year-and-a-half, according to the Army’s safety director, Brig. Gen. Andrew Hilmes.
The loss of two separate three-person National Guard Black Hawk crews in a matter of weeks sparked concern at the Senate Armed Services Committee that a larger pattern of malfunction could be the culprit.

The loss of two UH-60 Black Hawk crews in less than two weeks signals the need for a comprehensive look at the helicopter’s mechanical, software and electrical systems to see if the cases “fit a larger pattern of malfunction,” according to a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Nine National Guard troops have been killed in Black Hawk crashes in roughly one year, raising “significant concerns about a systemic issue with the Black Hawk helicopter operation cycle,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said in a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Friday.
