A man has been killed in a horrific helicopter crash in southwest NSW. The 40-year-old was a passenger in the helicopter which crashed about 40km west of Hay on Friday. The pilot was the only other person on board. A distress signal from an emergency locator transmitter alerted emergency services to the crash near Corrong Rd at One Tree. The signal was sent from a US-registered Super Puma helicopter travelling from Broken Hill to Albury about 10am, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said.
A team of ATSB transport safety investigators with expertise in helicopter maintenance and engineering, flying operations, and data recovery and analysis, are expected to arrive at the accident site on Saturday. “Over coming days they will examine and map the site and wreckage, recover recording devices, and retrieve any components deemed necessary,” ATSB said. Their analysis will be examined further in the ATSB’s technical facilities in Canberra.
