DND/CF : News Release : Hoist Modifications to Canadian Forces Search and Rescue Helicopter Well Underway The modifications are the result of recommendations made by Air Force personnel during testing and evaluation of the CH-149 Cormorant shortly after the first helicopter was delivered in the fall of 2001. The Cormorant has been flying SAR missions since July 2002 and recent missions have demonstrated that the aircraft has the range and hardiness needed for Canada's vast ocean approaches and extreme weather conditions. In December 2002, a Cormorant flew 1600 kilometres in gale force conditions to rescue an injured Norwegian sailor. www.forces.gc.ca /site/newsroom/view_news_e.asp?id=1091   (428 words)

CTV.ca Cormorant helicopters face flight restrictions The Cormorants, which cost taxpayers $798 million, will only be allowed to fly in emergencies until the tail rotors of each of the aircraft can be inspected. Even still, Orr said he found it "surprising and disappointing" that faults have already started to develop in the Cormorants, some of which are only a year old. He said the rotors on both the Cormorant and the Merlin are roughly the same. www.ctv.ca /servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1080837609067_76246809/?hub=Canada   (505 words)

DND/CF : News Release : CH-149 Cormorant Limited to SAR Operations Only CFB WINNIPEG — The Air Force has limited its fleet of 15 Cormorant helicopters to search and rescue (SAR) operations only until more details are known about the March 30th crash of a Royal Navy Merlin Mk1 helicopter. “Although the Merlin and the Cormorant are employed in very different roles, I believe that it is prudent to limit our operations until more details surrounding the Merlin's crash are known,” he said. This ongoing inspection is being done as a precautionary measure based on preliminary information about the Merlin incident and previous concerns with deficiencies in some of the Cormorant tail rotor half hub assemblies. www.forces.gc.ca /site/newsroom/view_news_e.asp?id=1325   (244 words)

Fissures dans le rotor de queue d'un Cormorant L'Armée de l'air canadienne a décidé d'annuler tous les vols non essentiels de ses 15 hélicoptères CH-149 Cormorant après la découverte de fissures dans le rotor de queue d'un appareil basé à Terre-Neuve. Lors de l'achat des appareils, le constructeur EH Industries affirmait qu'il faudrait sept heures d'entretien pour chaque heure de vol des hélicoptères Cormorant. De plus, l'écrasement d'un hélicoptère Cormorant de la Marine britannique survenu récemment serait attribuable à ce type de fissures dans la queue de l'appareil. radio-canada.ca /nouvelles/Index/nouvelles/200410/20/001-cormorant-probleme.shtml   (290 words)

Cormorant hub cracking tackled -31/05/2005-Flight International AgustaWestland has produced an improved tail-rotor hub for Canada's CH-149 Cormorant (EH101) search-and-rescue (SAR) helicopter fleet in an effort to solve a cracking problem that has severely restricted operations and kept fleet availability at about 50% for the past nine months. "Over the past nine months, aircraft availability has averaged between seven and eight Cormorants out of a total of 15 aircraft," says the DND.
