Any major commercial airport approach and landing is high stress work and it must never be handed to unqualified unexperienced people, especially with ADHD. "It's not the plane, it's the pilot". Always.

I’m not sure your comment makes sense. Are you implying the helicopter crew are unqualified inexperienced people? But these people weren’t trying to land at the commercial airport.

What the hell does ADHD have to do with this?

These mysteries and more are hidden in the article.

Despite struggling with what she believed to be undiagnosed and unmedicated ADHD, which forced her to study harder and more methodically than other students,[40:41–43] she completed her UH-60 Blackhawk training at Fort Rucker, Alabama without major difficulties despite delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

So... she was never diagnosed, never medicated, completed her training without difficulties, and your conclusion is "people with ADHD shouldn't be allowed to fly?"

Seriously?
