Just been reported that G-CEAW SCHWEIZER 269C-1 has had an accident on the Yankee taxi-way at Liverpool, and is resting on its side, all on board are OK.

Update:- The helicopter is actually on its skids & not on its side but the boom is broken off and the helicopter has been sprayed with foam.

[RICEY]

thats not good. im guessing flights will be delayed due to this

[Sabreliner]

No flight delays, airport fire service was down graded for a short while, until the all clear was given. The helicopter is not blocking any movements as taxiway Yankee is mainly used by the fire service, as it is were their fire training rig is kept.

Pilot injured in Liverpool Airport helicopter crash

The helicopter was hovering when it came down
A helicopter pilot suffered head injuries after crash landing during a training flight at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

The light aircraft was hovering above the tarmac at the western edge of the airport when it came down on Saturday.

Emergency crews were sent to the scene but, despite his injuries, the pilot walked away from the aircraft, which suffered some minor damage.

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) has been informed.

The man had been piloting the two-seater aircraft on a training flight at about 1200 BST when he got into difficulties.

Investigation due

Eyewitness David Knowles told the BBC the pilot appeared to be practising hovering and landing from about 3m (9.8ft) off the ground.

He said there was a loud banging and whooping noise and then a crunch as the aircraft came down.

"You could hear the glugging of the aviation fuel pouring out and it quickly spread around the helicopter... we were concerned that it would explode with the pilot inside, said the 37-year-old, from Runcorn.

Mr Knowles, who had been walking around nearby Speke Hall with his family, said there was an agonising five-minute wait for fire crews after a witness dialled 999.


Nobody appeared to see how the pilot was injured. He was lucky he was only a couple of metres from the ground

David Knowles, witness
"About a minute before they did [arrive] the pilot came around got out and looked very dazed. He said he was OK but there was a lot of blood down the back of his head and back," he added.

Mr Knowles was among six bystanders about 150m (492ft) away from the crash behind a security fence.

"Nobody appeared to see how the pilot was injured. He was lucky he was only a couple of metres from the ground," he said.

An emergency response, including five fire engines and two ambulances, was carried out by the airport.

"The pilot walked away, but he sustained some head injuries and was taken by ambulance to hospital," an airport spokesman said.

His condition is not known.

The accident did not affect the airport and flights continued to operate as normal.

An investigation will be carried out into the crash.
