A helicopter of the Federal Army had to make an emergency landing on Monday near the Langenlebarn airfield in the Tulln district. On board were two pilots and a technician, all of whom remained uninjured. Presumably, an engine failure led to the emergency landing.
The emergency landing occurred around 9:15 a.m. The flight's destination was the barracks in St. Michael in Upper Styria. The emergency landing of the Federal Army helicopter of type HS O-58 took place in the area of Chorherrn in the market town of Tulbing.
Federal Army Helicopter Pilot Acted Correctly During Emergency Landing
"Such situations are practiced in a comprehensive training in the simulator," the Federal Army stated in a release. "The pilots acted correctly according to their training and brought the aircraft to the ground through a controlled emergency landing using autorotation." A flight accident commission must now make further decisions regarding the helicopter's fate.
