Chunlan Corp EC135T1 s/n 0213 crashed at a scenic spot near Ningbo in East China during a filming mission for a local TV station. 7 POB, 1st officer was killed and also 3 pax (journalists). Pilot and 2 pax survived with back injuires.
Investigators are collecting evidence but helico was consumed by post crash fire.
Pilot says he does not remember anything of the final flight. Eye witnesses reported helico was "flying at low level and in hover when tailed moved left and right and then fell down and crashed".

Anyone worked in or around China?
Does anyone have any experience of working in or around China, Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand? Single or Multi doesn't really matter. Who are the main players? Its just that you don't hear much about Asian Heli Ops and I fancy going to work somewhere a bit different for a while. Apart from the S76c's in Hong Kong are there any other 76's in the region?

Yamaha's RMAX - the worlds most advanced non-military UAV
UPDATED Nov 19, 2004 The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), is a term you'll hear a lot more about over the coming years. In the past it has mainly been mentioned whenever a technologically advanced country (aka the USA) is involved in warfare. The biggest advantage of a UAV is that it can be put 'in harm's way' - it can be put in a dangerous situation where the odds of losing a pilot (the most valuable part of any aircraft) are simply too great. Now Yamaha has unveiled a range of Unmanned Ground, Marine and Air Vehicles that bring autonomous capability to the world.

R44 - Rooftop Helipad - approach and departure routes no doubt over built up areas - Single Engine??????? Let's hope that this EMS machine doesn't become an addition to the accident statistics itself........
Well I think you will find a lot of countries are still using singles for EMS without a problem, and saving hundreds of lives everyday. Plenty of communities are serviced by a single engine Longranger where before they had nothing. Czech used L-4's for years without any dramas until the current regs forced them to twins.
