Actuality Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Occurrence Summary: C-FZVM, a Black Tusk Helicopters Inc. Kaman Aerospace Corporation K-1200 (K-max) helicopter, was conducting heli-logging operations in the vicinity of Killam Bay, in Jervis Inlet, BC, with 1 pilot on board. Following a mid-day break, the pilot resumed transporting logs from a cut block to an ocean pen approximately 0.6 NM NW. About 1 minute after departing the cut block with a load of 3 logs in the grapple, workers at the cut block heard a loud noise that came from the area of the ocean pen. The pilot could not be contacted by radio nor did he return to the cut block. A company support helicopter was directed to search the area of the ocean pen where they found debris in the water and a sheen on the water. A search and rescue helicopter arrived on scene but was unable to locate the helicopter. Portions of 3 rotor blades were recovered by searchers on the water. The helicopter was located by sonar 8 days after the occurrence. It was approximately 150m west of the reported initial collision location at a depth of approximately 110m. The pilot was fatally injured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amphibious Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 The pilot was a dear friend and will be greatly missed. He was a mentor when i was a 100hr idiot and went out of his way to train me on and off the job. He kept me alive when I took my first job overseas as a 200hr driver, one that I was gloriously under qualified for, shitting my self daily, being always available for a phone call and advice. Many of the tips and tricks I share today with our younger pilots I learned from him. Still very hard to believe he's gone. One of the most capable and experienced pilots I have ever had the good fortune to know. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
