DEFENCE MEDIA RELEASE
CPA 307/05
Thursday, 8 December 2005
TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF SEA KING FLYING OPERATIONS
During routine maintenance of a Sea King helicopter conducted on 24 November 2005 an unserviceability was detected.
As a result of a series of subsequent technical investigations, which concluded on 6 December 2005, the root cause of the unserviceability was determined to be an incident of inappropriate maintenance at 817 Squadron.
As a precautionary safety measure, the Maritime Commander has suspended Sea King flying until the matter has been fully investigated.
Recommendations from this investigation will be incorporated into the ongoing Maintenance Reinvigoration Program.
The findings from the investigation will be reviewed by the Maritime Commander and will provide the basis for a decision to lift the suspension on Sea King flying.
The safety of Naval aviation remains paramount.
