Landing Safety Officer at HSM 48: “What’s happening right now is that is just conducted a maintenance period and the aircraft is going through a check flight to make sure everything is working appropriately. So right now the co-pilot is working the PCL’s back, the rate at which the rotors are spinning is slowing down and they are checking to make sure the generators stay on line.”
