A helicopter crashed into a slackline in Arizona on Jan. 2, 2026, killing four, prompting scrutiny of aviation warning systems.
A federal aviation notice issued December 26 warned pilots of a temporary, flagged, and lit slackline over half a mile long in Arizona’s Telegraph Canyon, near Superior, which was struck by a helicopter on January 2, 2026, killing pilot David McCarty, 59, and three family members.
The FAA had issued the notice to alert aviators of the hazard, but concerns are rising over the reliability of the NOTAM system and whether pilots received timely warnings.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash, examining whether mechanical failure, pilot error, or the slackline was the primary cause.
The incident marks the first known aircraft crash involving a slackline.
