helicopter reported down in Ireland
|
Irish Helicopters A109.
Still havent heard any more news on the condition of the pilot. |
I believe it is an A109e but Irish Helicopters dont operate that type.
Best wishes to the pilot and his family. |
i heard it was EI-SBM

Ballymore management services in dublin own SBM..

Heavy landing just east of Dunshaughlin in bogland. One person (P1) on board. Airlifted to hospital with suspected spinal/compression injuries. Aircraft tipped overe on it's side just 30 yds from powerlines. Air Accident Unit on the scene Registration EI-SBM Date of Registration 04/05/2004 Owner Ballymore Management Services Ltd. Address Fonthill House, Old Lucan Road, Palmerstown, Dublin 20 Manufacturer Agusta Aircraft Type 109E Serial Number 11174 Year of Manufacture 2004 Engine Manufacturer Pratt and Whitney Engine Type PW 206 C Number of Engines 2 Status Current Please be careful about speculating at this point. Let Air accident provide the details. Would say lucky escape but know pilot to be very capable guy. so would like to think experience more responsible than luck. Speedy recovery J. NB |
Agree 100%, one of the best corporate pilots in Ireland and from my reading it was experience that saved his life.
Get well soon J |
.....be careful about speculating? This is a rumour network and it's what everyone here does. For the quote above to report 'near powerlines' seems weird. No schools mentioned. etc etc etc.
Quite agree. Lets wait and see what the cause was. Robino, you say from your reading it was his experience that saved his life. Have you got any other news that isnt posted here? |
Ballymore have not owned this aircraft for some time.
It is owned by Kildare Aviation and managed by Premier at Weston. |
I wish the pilot a speedy recovery, any weather problems in Dublin today??
|
hope it wasn't his own fault it happened. Because that would make him not quite one of the best corporate pilots in Ireland. Not sure why you would make such an inconsiderate statement? :confused: I too know the pilot involved and have flown with him before. I would agree with Robino and No Blades, he is very capable and experienced pilot, and a total professional. He also happens to be a thoroughly decent bloke. From the sketchy details so far its very unlikely to be 'his own fault' Best wishes to him and his family, and lets hope he makes a speedy recovery. BC. |
Weather was pretty nasty here today after lunch time onwards, was very windy, clouds were pretty low all day..
Wish the pilot a speedy recovery:) |
i was in a r44 just outside of dublin today at 11am and was pretty bumpy!
|
nothing to do with the power lines. understand that it was beyond his control cant say much more for now. wish him a full and quick recovery
|
was the pilot ex Irish Air Corps??
|
no, and its not who you think it is
|
|
not inconsiderate at all. If it was a/c failure, well done to him for the way it turned out. Losing a friend in a 109, this always hits home.
I'll sit patiently to wait for the report. |
Just to let all concerned know I have spoke to the pilot this evening involved in the incident. At this point I am unsure of what information is allowed to be disclosed suffice it to say that it was an aircraft malfunction and the pilot did an incredible job of dealing with the emergency and landing it away from a populated area. The pilot has back injuries associated with autorotation but is holding up well and the IAAIU are investigating. Yes the aircraft is owned now by Kildare Aviation not Ballymore
|
Well done to the pilot looking at the pictures he did a good job, is the tail rotor gone or maybe from the impact but it does look like he may have had a TR failure and also by the position the A/C ended up in only my humble opinion.
