The time of the crash registered by the camera is 14:27 Moscow time, although it is not clear how accurate the timestamp is. A 26-year-old Gatineau woman died after her vehicle crashed on Highway 148 near Quyon early Tuesday. On 20 January 1992, the aircraft operating the flight, an Airbus A320, crashed in the Vosges Mountains, France, near Mont Sainte-Odile, while circling to land at Strasbourg Airport. The AN-148-100V RA-61704 crash occurred due to erroneous actions of the crew at the stage of climbing in instrument weather conditions at unreliable readings of instrument speed caused by icing (blockage of ice) of all three pitot tubes, which led to the loss of control over the parameters of the aircraft, its transfer to dive and collision with the ground. Pseudonyms will no longer be permitted.In the hours after the accident, DND's only public confirmation of the accident was a statement that the frigate had "lost contact" with the aircraft — a vague acknowledgement that left many believing that the helicopter had gone down some distance from the warship."We remain committed to conducting a thorough investigation to identify all we can that may contribute to safer flying operations," said Alexander.The air force said the problem was corrected in a software update through the manufacturer.The Cyclone is a militarized version of the Sikorsky S-92 helicopter. Among other assignments, he spent a total of 15 months on the ground covering the Afghan war for The Canadian Press. He has covered the Canadian military and foreign policy from Parliament Hill for over a decade.

Prior to that, he covered defence issues and politics for CP in Nova Scotia for 11 years and was bureau chief for Standard Broadcast News in Ottawa.The crash killed six military members.The officer in charge of flight safety was equally vague.Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan has said it could be up to a year or more before a final determination is made on what brought the aircraft down."There is still a tremendous amount of work to do to understand the exact circumstances that contributed to the accident," said Col. John Alexander. "Any reference to a loss of 500 feet in altitude is incorrect."Air force commander Lt.-Gen. Al Meinzinger said a team of airworthiness experts is working closely to develop a plan to safely and methodically return the helicopters to active service.He called it a "cousin fleet" to the S-92.In a statement, the Department of National Defence (DND) said that it uses such terminology when "a cause may not be immediately clear.""During this final complex manoeuvring turn to close with the ship, the aircraft did not respond as the crew would have anticipated," said the report.It points to possible flight control problems that could be either mechanical or computer-related.It is a priority for CBC to create a website that is accessible to all Canadians including people with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive challenges. During a 2017 training mission off Nova Scotia, one of the helicopters experienced a software "glitch."The Cyclone's development was beset by delays and ballooning costs as the aircraft had to be certified.That short summary confirmed what had been reported publicly already — that the maritime helicopter was returning to HMCS Fredericton when it passed the frigate and turned around for another "downwind leg" approach to the stern of the ship.The commander of 12 Wing at the time, Col. Peter Allan, said on June 14, 2017 that the aircraft experienced a sudden and brief loss of altitude.The Cyclone fleet, which is relatively new and is still being delivered by Sikorsky, has been grounded temporarily — the military calls it an "operational pause". This one concludes by saying "the investigation is focusing on aircraft systems and human factors.""This is critical work and we will take the time to do it right," he said in a statement.Coyle said there would have been very few people in Canadian regulatory agencies at the time "who would have done certification of [a] fly-by-wire flight control system on a helicopter."To make the technological leap to fly-by-wire, where computers replace standard hydraulics and cables, is "expensive and took a lot of time to get right," said Coyle, who was also an accident investigator for Transport Canada and the author of several books."The pilots described this occurrence as similar to 'hitting a speed bump' and stated that it was difficult to distinguish from turbulence," said Lt.-Col. Steve Neta in a statement. Unlike the civilian version, the military Cyclone operates on what's known as a fly-by-wire (FWB) system.Normally, a flight safety report gives an indication of what caused the crash. Radio contact with flight 730 to Orsk was lost when it vanished from radar several minutes later.
