Body of Missing Helicopter Pilot Located Off Port Hedland
Search teams have actually situated the body of the missing out on helicopter pilot whose airplane collapsed in the waters off Port Hedland, Western Australia recently throughout an aquatic pilot transfer at Australia’s busiest iron ore filling port.
The Pilbara Port Authority revealed Saturday that the body of the missing out on pilot lay together with the helicopter wreck someday after the look for the missing out on pilot was put on hold.
The helicopter had 2 pilots onboard when it was required to ditch last Thursday about 30 kilometres north-west of Port Hedland as it headed to the mass service provider MV Squireship to grab an aquatic pilot.
One pilot got away the airplane and also was saved from a liferaft.
The Port Authority stated the helicopter abandoned at 2350hrs (AWST) March 15 at the seaward end of the Port Hedland delivery network.
The helicopter, a twin-engine Eurocopter EC135, is run by Mackay Helicopters, a subsidiary of Aviator Group.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) stated it will certainly be examining the ditching.
