Republican Senator Ted Cruz, currently the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, has claimed that the Black Hawk involved in a fatal crash in Washington DC had its Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) switched off during its final flight, according to media reports.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although it is not uncommon for military aircraft to disable their ADS-B during flights to prevent being tracked, Senator Cruz said this should not have been the case at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On February 6, 2025, Cruz said: \u201cThis was a training mission, so there was no compelling national security reason for ADS-B to be turned off.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
