Helicopter hit crane while pilot was turning to head for heliport – investigators
The AgustaWestland AW109E helicopter that crashed into a crane over central London on 16 January was turning right over the river Thames to reverse its easterly track and head west for Battersea heliport when it hit the crane's jib at a recorded secondary surveillance radar altitude of 800ft (244m), according to a special bulletin from the Air Accidents Investigation Branch.
The pilot, who had previously been cleared to hold over the river Thames to await clearance to Battersea, had just been informed by air traffic control that Battersea heliport could accept an approach. He had also been provided with Battersea's frequency to enable him to retune his radio and call the heliport. However, about five seconds after the pilot acknowledged the frequency change information the aircraft hit the crane while undertaking a right-hand turn through about 180˚.
