A Super Puma helicopter made a "precautionary" landing
on a North Sea oil platform amid fears of a technical fault, its operator has
said.
Bond said the EC 225 was heading for the Forties Unity platform on Tuesday
but instead landed on the Forties Charlie installation after a warning light
came on.
It is understood it related to the helicopter's tail rotor.
The Super Puma was carrying 18 passengers and two crew.
No-one was injured.
Bond engineers will head offshore to examine the aircraft, before
arrangements are made to transfer the passengers back to Aberdeen.
From another report: (http://www.energyvoice.com/2014/10/super-puma-makes-emergency-landing/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=super-puma-makes-emergency-landing) It is understood initial inspections will focus on the indication system on the tail rotor
