WTF_was_that Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Corners inquest to starts. Not sure what there going to find. Maybe some recommendation that that will not be heard or followed by TC. http://www.ctvbc.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20110426/bc_cranbrook_helicopter_crash_inquest_110426/20110426?hub=BritishColumbiaHome TSB report. Good read, about flying in a built up area. Its a long read, but worth it for anyone operating in a built up area. http://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/aviation/2008/A08P0125/A08P0125.asp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hence the use of a EC135 last month for line patrols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three_Per Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Can you rely on the testimony of a person who claims to have heard noises that would arguably never come from a Bell 206. As he watched, Mr. Spring said, the engine began to splutter. “The sound just before it crashed was like a lawnmower running out of gas,” Mr. Spring said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2007 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 BC Hydro Transmission apparently understands the higher level of safety provided by the EC135 over the BK117. Great to see a customer willing to up the standards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto Relight Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 BC Hydro Transmission apparently understands the higher level of safety provided by the EC135 over the BK117. Great to see a customer willing to up the standards. The real question is: What rate are they charging for it? AR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I saw a BK doing Hydro patrols yesterday. I thought the only the Canadian operator of BK 117s was STARS, why would they be doing Hydro patrols? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
