Countless times a day, emergency helicopters fly to the Tyrolean ski areas after winter sports accidents. On Saturday, a helicopter itself needed help. From a helicopter. After the affected aircraft was already “stranded” in the Axamer Lizum on Friday, probably due to a defect, it was recovered with a rope.
Many winter sports enthusiasts could not believe their eyes when a transport helicopter with an emergency doctor helicopter hanging on a rope flew past them on Saturday morning.
Warning light: further flight impossible
What happened? On Friday the crew of the “Christophorus 1″ was sent to the Axamer Lizum after an accident. “After landing, a warning light came on. A further flight was no longer possible. There are strict rules in aviation,” emphasizes a spokesman for ÖAMTC air rescue.
Most importantly, the affected patient was treated by the emergency physician and then flown to the hospital with a replacement device.
“Machine has been checked through”
The stranded helicopter was finally recovered on Saturday with a special helicopter and then brought to the base in Innsbruck. It is not yet clear why the warning light came on. “The machine is now being thoroughly checked,” said the spokesman.
