On the evening of Wednesday 28 February 2024, a Sikorsky S-92A helicopter, LN-OIJ, operated by Bristow Norway AS, crashed during SAR training in night conditions departing from Flesland (ENBR).

The downed chopper wreckage has been recovered from 220m water depth by Normand Ocean vessel.

The helicopter took off from Flesland (ENBR) with the aim of carrying out SAR training west of Løno, Sotra.

All six who had been on board the helicopter were picked up from the sea by a rescue helicopter and transported to Haukeland University Hospital. One person was seriously injured and one person has been confirmed dead.

The Accident Investigation Board has sent accident inspectors to Bergen and to the helicopter operator's main base in Stavanger to start initial investigations. Talks have been held with the operator and with the crew from the accident helicopter.

Offshore Survival Training is very important especially to us Oil and Gas Workers. Please take your BOSIET, HUET training seriously as it will help in emergency situations such as these.

RIP to the fallen crew.
