The Australian Army’s fleet of Tiger Armed Reconnaissance
Helicopters (ARH) has resumed regular training activities after a temporary
suspension was lifted on 2 August 2012.
The suspension, which began on 26 June 2012, was put in
place as a safety measure when fumes were detected in the cockpit of an
aircraft that performed a precautionary landing at Shoalwater Bay
Following a detailed investigation and assessment into the
source of the fumes, the Army Operational Airworthiness Authority lifted the
suspension on the recommendation to resume flying operations from the Technical
Airworthiness Authority.
The assessment determined that a faulty capacitor in the
power supply module was the cause of the fumes. The Tiger fleet has been
examined and the faulty power supply modules will be returned to the
manufacturer for modification.
