CH-148 pilot was fighting with autopilot before crash off Greece
The Canadian military has recreated the scenario whereby a CH-148 crashed while attempting to land aboard HMCS Frederiction off Greece in April.
Using data recovered from the helicopter’s flight recorders, investigators found that the autopilot did not turn off and the pilot struggled to control the aircraft.
Lt.-Gen. Alain Pelletier, commander of 1 Canadian Air Division, said the unexpected situation occurred within a “very narrow band” of flight activities that had not been previously identified or tested.
