Cracks now found in 21 of the Canadian military's 23 Cyclone helicopters

The Canadian military confirmed Thursday that 21 of its 23 Cyclone helicopters have cracks in their tails.

Cracks were first detected in one of the maritime helicopters during a routine inspection on Nov. 26 at 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron at Patricia Bay, B.C.

By Dec. 5, the Air Force said it had discovered damage in the same general area on a total of 19 helicopters.

At the time, the military said two Cyclones did not appear to have any tail defects, and the remaining two in the fleet were receiving longer-term maintenance and would be inspected at a later date.

As of Thursday, cracks on six of the Sikorsky-made aircraft have been repaired and four others are still in the shop.

Meanwhile, one of the damaged helicopters was to be flown from the deck of the frigate HMCS Winnipeg to Patricia Bay, which is north of Victoria.

The warship is returning to its base at Esquimalt, B.C., after completing a four-month tour in the Asia-Pacific region.

"In this specific case, a one-time short ferry flight from the ship to its home base at 443 Squadron, Patricia Bay was authorized, in accordance with a detailed airworthiness review," the Royal Canadian Air Force said in a statement. "Minimal cracking was found on this particular aircraft."

The Air Force has said the cracks are unique for each CH-148 Cyclone, although they are on the aircraft's frame.

The U.S.-based manufacturer of the Cyclones, Sikorsky Aircraft, has devised a fix that involves the installation of reinforcements to provide added strength to the airframe, the military has said.

A spokesman for Sikorsky confirmed this week that the cracks were found in the forward portion of the tail cone, which is the section of the tail closest to the fuselage.

The Cyclone fleet has not technically been grounded or placed on an operational pause, but the military confirmed the damaged aircraft were removed from regular flying duties.

The squadron at Patricia Bay has six Cyclones. The entire fleet is overseen by 12 Wing Shearwater near Halifax, which has 17 of the helicopters.

One Cyclone crashed off the coast of Greece in April 2020, killing all six military members aboard.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 16, 2021.

Tin tức nóng 24h – Mỹ và Canada điều tàu chiến qua eo biển Đài Loan, TQ phản ứng gắt

Tin tức nóng 24h. Trung Quốc tuyên bố quân đội nước này “luôn duy trì ở mức độ cảnh giác cao và kiên quyết chống lại mọi đe dọa, khiêu khích”.

Quân đội Trung Quốc đã chỉ trích Mỹ và Canada về việc 2 nước này điều tàu chiến qua eo biển Đài Loan. Bắc Kinh cho rằng động thái này sẽ gây nguy hiểm cho ổn định của khu vực.

Tuần trước, 2 tàu khu trục USS Dewey của Mỹ và HMCS Winnipeg của Canada đã đi qua tuyến đường thủy ngăn cách đảo Đài Loan và Trung Quốc đại lục, khiến Bộ tư lệnh chiến khu miền đông của quân đội Trung Quốc có phản ứng gay gắt. Tin nóng 24h

“Mỹ và Canada đang cùng nhau kích động, gây rối… làm ảnh hưởng nghiêm trọng tới hòa bình và ổn định của eo biển Đài Loan”, Bộ tư lệnh chiến khu miền đông cáo buộc. Quân đội Trung Quốc tuyên bố “luôn luôn duy trì mức độ cảnh giác cao và kiên quyết chống lại mọi đe dọa và khiêu khích”. Tin tức mới nhất

Trong khi đó, Bộ Quốc phòng Mỹ nhấn mạnh: “Việc 2 tàu khu trục của Mỹ và Canada di chuyển qua eo biển Đài Loan là để thể hiện cam kết của Washington và các đồng minh với các đối tác ở khu vực, hướng tới một khu vực Ấn Độ Dương – Thái Bình Dương tự do và cởi mở hơn”. Tin tức thế giới

Trung Quốc luôn coi Đài Loan là một phần lãnh thổ không thể tách rời và có thể thu hồi bằng vũ lực nếu cần. Trong bối cảnh căng thẳng leo thang ở eo biển Đài Loan, quân đội Trung Quốc tuần trước đăng tải một video về hoạt động tập trận đổ tấn công và đổ bộ bãi biển, được thực hiện ở khu vực phía nam tỉnh Phúc Kiến – nơi rất gần eo biển Đài Loan. Đáp lại, một quan chức quân sự Đài Loan tuyên bố, hòn đảo sẽ “chống trả quyết liệt” nếu xung đột xảy ra. Tin tức nóng 24h

ON TARGET: Tragedy At Sea For RCN

By Scott Taylor

Last week a terrible tragedy unfolded as the Royal Canadian Navy first reported that a sailor had gone missing at sea. Master Sailor Duane Earle, 47, was believed to have fallen overboard from the frigate HMCS Winnipeg in the early hours of Monday 14 December.

At the time HMCS Winnipeg was approximately 500 nautical miles west of San Francisco, homeward bound to CFB Esquimalt, BC after a two-month deployment in the Asia-Pacific region.

It was announced that immediately upon realizing Earle was absent from his duties and presumed overboard, an extensive search and rescue mission was conducted. High seas at an estimated four to five meter swells made the search a challenge in the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean.

By 17:30 Tuesday 15 December, the RCN announced that the search was concluded and Earle presumed to be deceased. Counseling and support were available to the next of kin.

It was a tragic loss and on military social media networks there was a widespread outpouring of grief and condolences to family, friends and to Earle’s fellow shipmates.

The actual circumstances of Earle going overboard remain something of a mystery. “The ship is surrounded by guardrails and the upper decks are kept out of bounds at night” said Commodore Angus Topshee, Commander of the RCN Pacific fleet at a media briefing at CFB Esquimalt on Wednesday 16 December.

Topshee further noted that because the only way to exit the ship at sea is via the upper decks, the Earle incident remains inexplicable. “The honest truth is, we can’t explain how he came to be in the water, and we are continuing to search for any evidence to support any conclusion,” Topshee told reporters.

As a result of the Canadian Armed Forces coming forward with the news of this accidental death in a timely and forthright manner, it precluded any wild speculation or false narratives getting a foothold in the media reports.

There was an accident, a search was conducted, that search was concluded with the presumption of Earle’s passing and the military community grieved as an extended family.

To give credit where credit is due, the DND/CAF gets full marks for the manner in which they handled this tragedy.

Which makes one question what went so horribly wrong with this same Canadian Armed Forces’ handling of the information flow regarding the April 2020 Cyclone helicopter crash in the Mediterranean Sea.

For those who may have forgotten some of the finer details of this Public Relations fiasco, allow me to recap. On Wednesday 29 April a RCAF Cyclone helicopter crashed while returning to HMCS Fredericton.

Greek media reported it immediately but mistakenly referred to the helicopter as a Sikorsky Sea King, which caused Canadian media outlets to flag the story as potential ‘fake news’.

A full 24 hours passed before the CAF issued a statement that indeed a Cyclone had crashed with one servicemember dead while five others remained “missing.”

Canadian media were told officially that the Fredericton had “lost contact with the helicopter” prior to the crash. It was also stated that HMCS Fredericton and NATO allies continue to search for the remaining five members of the helicopter’s crew.”

It was not until late in the afternoon on Friday, May 1 that DND stated the search and rescue mission was concluded and that the effort was now a search and recover mission with all 6 servicemembers presumed deceased.

For two days, the military community on social media has been fuelling family and friends with false hope and prayers. Media pundits went so far as to speculate as to the vast scope of the potential search area and the survivability endurance of the crew.

Only later was it learned that the Cyclone had been conducting a low level fly past beside the Fredericton as part of a photo shoot when the helicopter suddenly plunged into the sea.

Some of the Fredericton’s crew were as a result, eyewitnesses to the crash.

To this day no one has been able to explain to Canadians why, or to what purpose, the CAF would have to initially portray the Cyclone incident as a lengthy search and rescue operation, or why they claimed to have ‘lost contact’ with the aircraft.

I offer my sincere condolences to the family, friends and comrades of Master Sailor Duane Earle.
