What The ????
I have just heard that Tropic Helicopters who operate in the Western pacific ocean area have LOST 10 helicopters to accidents in the last 12 months. 4 of these were to tied down accidents which is where I'm told the helicopter is still tied down to the ship and the pilot has taken off with one of the tie down straps still attached to the aircraft and the helicopter smashes into the side of the ship.
Can anyone confirm these numbers?
Seems that we ALL will now pay a higher premium for our insurances now!
