The Accident Investigation Bureau has released the preliminary
report of the helicopter accident involving the Vice President,
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.
The Commissioner, AIB, Mr. Akin Olateru, on Thursday said the
investigation was still ongoing but that among other causal
factors, the crew lost visual contact with the ground at landing
due to a “brownout.”
According to him, brownout is caused by landing in a dry, sandy
environment.
“Caverton Helicopters Limited did not conduct site survey of the
landing field prior to the flight and did not carry out safety and
risk assessment,” he said.
A helicopter conveying the Vice President to a campaign rally in
Kogi State had crash landed in Kabba on February 2.
Nobody died or sustained injury in the crash.
