Private helicopter disappears from radar near Arkhangelsk
An incident that occurred near Arkhangelsk has become known.
The helicopter with two people on board disappeared from radar and its location remains unknown.
RIA Novosti reports this, citing a statement made by emergency services.
As rescuers told the agency, the model in question was a private helicopter, Robinson 44.
The ship with two people on board set off on a flight along the Bychye-Karandashevskaya route.
According to preliminary information, before departure, the helicopter crew did not submit a flight plan to the center that organizes air traffic.
As the North-West Transport Prosecutor's Office wrote in its Telegram channel, the agency has no information that a flight in this direction was planned. The publication clarified that the prosecutor's office is monitoring the situation related to the disappearance of the helicopter.
They are trying to find the helicopter on the ground, since the darkness prevents aircraft from taking off.
If the helicopter is not found by morning, a helicopter assigned to the Arkhangelsk airbase will be called in to help search for it.
