Australia's Eurocopter Tiger
armed reconnaissance helicopters have returned to service, after having
been grounded for six weeks because of a faulty capacitor in the
cockpit of one of the aircraft.
The fleet was suspended on 26 June following the detection of fumes in the cockpit, Australia's Department of Defence said in a statement. An investigation found that the source of the fumes was a faulty power supply module in a cockpit multi-function display.
"The suspension was lifted late yesterday after the Army Operational
Airworthiness Authority received a detailed assessment and
recommendation to resume flying operations from the Technical
Airworthiness Authority," the DoD said on 3 August. It adds that the
fleet has been examined, with faulty power supply modules to be returned
to the manufacturer for modification.
