An investigation report on a police helicopter that crashed in June, last year, has revealed that the National Police Service Air Wing may not be regularly maintaining its fleet.
It says recent accidents may also be due to lack of oversight by the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority.
Investigation on the accident also indicate that the crew had not been trained in Crew Resource Management, which is crucial in environments where human error can have devastating effects.

Subscriber only The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service will be able to take to the skies more easily thanks to new maintenance equipment. The Lismore base has received two custom-built stands to help its engineers do daily maintenance and pre-flight safety checks of the familiar yellow and red Augusta Westland AW 139 chopper. Lismore MP Janelle Saffin visited the service s South Lismore headquarters this week to see how senior base engineer Darryl Stevens and his team of three engineers were putting the work stands to good use. Ms Saffin said these stands - one for the helicopter tail platform and another crossover stand for the cockpit area - were funded by a $10,249 small grant under the NSW Government s Community Building Partnership Program 2020, one which she was very pleased to be able to help deliver.
