TAIC investigating Mt Aspiring helicopter accident

The Transport Accident Investigation Commission has opened an inquiry into this afternoon’s accident involving a helicopter landing on the Tyndall Glacier reportedly clipping another helicopter and rolling. 

Two Commission investigators will travel to Queenstown tomorrow (Tuesday) morning, and then to the accident site. 

They will gather background information on the flight, interview witnesses, and fly in to inspect the accident site and wreckage before any recovery work begins. 

The Commission conducts safety-focused investigations to find out what happened and what can be learnt or done to help prevent a recurrence.
