There is still no word on when Cougar Helicopters will resume regular passenger flights, but officials hope it will be in the next week or so. In the meantime, a company spokesperson says there was nothing to an incident yesterday which involved crew and oil company officials switching aircraft on the tarmac. A light came on in the cockpit as the helicopter was preparing to take officials to the offshore for a town hall meeting. The helicopter never left the tarmac, and in the interest of time, the crew and passengers simply switched to another helicopter. Maintenance identified and fixed the sensor in a very short time.
