The T-S-B says the chopper wasn’t required to have a cockpit voice recorder or a flight data recorder, however, it did have a G-P-S system, which has been recovered and could help in the investigation.
Meanwhile, Hydro One says its fleet of eight helicopters will remain grounded until a thorough review of safety protocols and equipment is complete.
The company held candlelight vigils at its offices across the province yesterday.
