A month and a half after a fire broke out in the helicopter engine in the middle of a training flight, it was decided in the Air Force to visualize the flight schedule

The Air Force helicopter lineup returned gradually on Sunday, about a month and a half after a helicopter malfunction occurred during a training flight. Recall that there were no casualties in the event, but IAF commander Maj. Gen. Amikam Norkin decided on the ground and appointed a team of experts to investigate the circumstances of the Yasur helicopter failure during a training flight.

In the last month, a comprehensive investigation has been conducted by a team of experts. The interim findings of the investigation provided much information about the possible causes of the accident and the ways to safely return to flight, but have not yet conclusively determined the cause of the crash in the "Yasur" helicopter.

In addition, extensive maintenance and inspection work has been carried out for the "Scouring" helicopters in coordination with the manufacturer and other corps operating similar helicopters to enable their return to flight safely.

The commander of the Air Force received the interim findings and the recommendations of the expert team, which was formulated with the helicopter manufacturer and included the necessary actions for the safe return of the "Yasur" system for flight. Major General Norkin noted the professionalism and importance of the debriefing team, emphasizing that it was only an intermediate finding, an order to complete and exhaust the incident investigation, and to instruct the helicopter helicopter to return to training flights gradually.
