President Donald Trump revealed during a national prayer breakfast that his private plane has a special navigation country from 'another country' that is much superior to American air traffic control.
He said he wants a new system to replace the 'outdated' current, and wants a single company or maybe two or three to produce it.
The unusual comments about his jet came to another prayer event after an earlier where he compared the DC air crash between a passenger plane and an army helicopter who killed 67 for a golf ball that hit another golf ball at a driving range.
“When I have private land in my plane, I use this system from another country, because my captain tells me:” I land in New York and I use a system, “Trump said.
“I will not tell you which country, but I used a system from another country because the captain says, this thing is so bad, it is so outdated and we can't have that.” He referred to the modified Boeing 757 decorated with the 'Trump' logo that he used during the presidential campaign.
Trump's comments at the National Prayer Breakfast and a next speech came after he had recommended an idea to renew the Nation's air traffic control system.
Transport secretary Sean Duffy said on Wednesday that the Doge team of Elon Musk participated in the attempt to “upgrade our aviation system” in the aftermath of the DC -Crash, which is not only the air disaster of Trump's young presidency.
Trump said it would cost 'not so much money' and would be done by 'total professionals' – mentioning a single company or just a few.
“I think we're going to happen, we're all going to sit down and do a great automated system for our control -towers – brand new, not merged, outdated, as if it is on land, trying to make a land -based system for a satellite system,” trying, ” said Trump, 78.
'And the first that some experts told me when this happened is that you cannot join the country with satellites, and you cannot connect satellites to land. It doesn't work, “he went on.
President Donald Trump revealed that he used an air traffic system from another country for his private plane that he flew during the campaign. He calls for a revision of the American air traffic control system
'You have issued billions and billions of dollars to renovate an old, broken system, instead of just saying: cut it loose and let's spend less money and build a great system that was done by two or three companies, very much Good business specialists. That's all it is. '
'They used 39 companies. That means that 39 different connections must be made. And I don't know how many people are good in terms of all the kinds of things that is needed, and they are very complex things, “Trump said.
“You need one company with one set of equipment,” said Trump.
And there are some countries with incredible air control systems. And they would call if that helicopter literally even hit the same height, because he made a long distance before it struck.
“I will not tell you which country, but I used a system from another country,” said Trump. He said his captain tells him that the American system is 'outdated'
Trump's administration calls for a computer upgrade to the nation air traffic system
It was just like, just wouldn't stop. You follow the line. But clocks and whistles would have gone off. They actually have on board, actually the thing can actually turn around. It would never have happened if we had the right equipment.
Trump said he would talk to congress leaders about the idea.
'So we are going to have the best system and a lot of money, but it is not that much money, and it will happen soon, and it will be done by total professionals. And when it's done, you won't have any accidents … They are hardly possible to have, “Trump said.
His comments about a technology -upgrade for the Federal Aviation Administration come after Trump first blamed diversity that blamed the air control controllers for the crash. He then criticized the army of Black Hawk Helicopter -crew, and noticed, as researchers later would, that the helicopter flew over his forbidden height.
His earlier comments, in Capitol, USA, described the crash conditions in terms of Golf, his favorite pass time.
'I think the helicopter was high and we will find out what happened. But the opportunities, even if you had nothing, nobody, the chance that it will happen are extremely small. You go to a driving range in Golf and touch hundreds of balls, thousands of hours, “he said.
“I've never seen a ball hit another ball. … balls that go up everywhere, you never see them touching. It was amazing that could happen. Many mistakes were made. It should never have happened. '
