The EC-135 training helicopter conducted a “series of passes and manoeuvres” near the 45-metre digital aerodrome service mast at WSI on Thursday to help calibrate and validate the camera feeds, said Airservices.
The two organisations have signed another agreement that will see several cohorts of Airservices trainees travel to Christchurch for instruction over the next 12 months. It comes as Airservices faces scrutiny over recent staff shortages, and plans to endorse 95 new controllers in 2026.
