A number of Australian businesses have joined the ranks of Greenbird - an industry consortium working to establish advanced air mobility (AAM) solutions, or air taxis, in Australia.
The helicopter crashed on 28 February at King River, in the Northern Territory's West Arnhem Land, with one pilot onboard, and a second who had been suspended below the helicopter in a harness, during a crocodile egg retrieval mission.
The report into the December 2020 incident concluded the adverse conditions or potentially “inappropriate” pilot actions led to the helicopter’s rotor blade colliding with its main rotor shaft.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has commenced an investigation after a helicopter crashed near Kiandra in the New South Wales Snowy Mountains region, killing both people onboard.
Angus Mitchell said his team would use software and drones to build up a 3D picture of the crash site, but warned the full investigation would take “many months” to complete.
Emergency services have finally located a helicopter that earlier appeared to vanish near Mount Disappointment, north of Melbourne, early on Thursday.
