The Transport Accident Investigation Commission has just
released two final reports. One concerns a Robinson R44
helicopter which crashed in the Kahurangi National Park in
October 2014 (AO-2014-006); the other a fire on board the
Amaltal Columbia in September 2012 (MO-2012-203).
Both reports can be found on the Commission’s website
www.taic.org.nz
Attention will
probably focus on the R44 report. It is a comprehensive
report and technical in parts. The Commission found the
helicopter broke up in flight as a result of mast
bumping.
