Pilot injured in helicopter crash 100km from Slave Lake

Post by grimey »

new accident, not the one from Slave Lake a couple days ago. Much better outcome though.

no sig because apparently quoting people in context is offensive to them.

CADORS 2011C1680

C-GGOZ, a Bell 206 operated by Delta Helicopters, was long lining near Calling Lake, AB when the line got snagged and the helicopter crashed to the ground. The pilot was trapped inside the helicopter for several hours until rescuers could extract him. He received serious injuries and was transported to hospital. TSB Edmonton has deployed 2 investigators to the site.

UPDATE TSB reported that the Delta Helicopters Ltd. Bell 206B, C-GGOZ, was conducting slinging operations at an oil field well site approximately 50 NM east of Slave Lake, AB. The slung load conflicted with structures at the well site and the helicopter collided with the ground. The pilot, who was the sole occupant, sustained serious injuries. Two TSB investigators from the Edmonton office deployed to the site.
