Astar Down In Quebec

[Flyer]

Anyone know of a TRK ASTAR that got a long-line wrapped up in the tail this last weekend? Apparently everyone is OK but the A/C is badly damaged.

Did anybody hear about Panorama helicopters rolling a machine up in Quebec? I heard a few got hurt in that one.

Or a Black Tusk 214 near Campbell River or a GSH A-Star also down ...

Never heard about the TRK thing. I empathise as I almost had that happen 4 days ago. Moving drill bits and the lanyard below the remote hook broke at 80kts with a 1900lb load. Longline bounced up VERY close to the tailrotor but managed to avoid it. The ticker took a beating on that one.

Hope for positive news from Sask.

It's always hard to read when the rash of summer incidents and accidents begin. Hoping for the best for all involved and wishing a very safe and cautious rest of the season to you all.

Good time to remind ourselves to be diligent with our safety procedures (ops or maintenance). I would never wish an accident/incident on anyone and I hope all involved in the above mentioned scenarios are doing as well as can be expected.

 

I hope this comment isn't taken out of context but I'd rather learn from someone else's mistake any day...be careful out there....starting to remind me of last year a little. A good reminder to refocus and not get lazy.

 

Best wishes to all those involved, (and a speedy recovery too.)

Ive heard there were 6 helicopters down in the last week. Not sure of any details except

Black Tusk 214 was definately one. T/R drive issue. (rumour has it) The pilot is beat up with a few broken bones but still on the right side of the daisies. Co-pilot faired better. I think the A/C is written off unless the data plate survived.

I wish all of you guys speedy recovery!!!!!!!!!!
