Ecureuil helicopter in minor accident at Høyland
Apr 30, 2016
A single-engine Ecureuil helicopter was involved in an accident at Høyland in southern Norway earlier today. The Norwegian Police in Stavanger says that the aircraft was involved in a training flight, carrying two people onboard, when the accident occurred. None of the occupants were harmed, and their damaged helicopter remained parked upright after the touchdown. A post-impact fire broke out, but it could soon be extinguished.
The cause of the accident is unknown at this time, but the Norwegian Accident Investigation Board (AIBN) will send a team to the accident site and launch a formal investigation.
