Navy’s Sea King helicopters have commenced a graduated program
to resume flying operations following the completion of a series
of rigorous inspections and checks.
“The resumption of Sea King flying is a significant milestone,”
Navy’s Maritime Commander, RADM Rowan Moffitt said. “We are confident
that the comprehensive technical inspections and system checks
conducted over the past two weeks have provided the necessary
information to lift the suspension of flying operations of Navy’s
Sea Kings.”
Meanwhile, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Team (AAIT) continues
its thorough investigative work into the Sea King accident on
April 2 at Nias, in Indonesia.
The AAIT has confirmed that the disconnection of the flight control
run remains its primary line of enquiry.
