The Department of Transport’s Air Accident Investigation Unit has said work on the report into the R116 Irish Coast Guard helicopter crash in 2017 is at "an advanced stage".
The bodies of Captain Mark Duffy and Captain Dara Fitzpatrick were recovered in the days following the tragedy but those of their colleagues, winch operator Paul Ormsby and winchman Ciarán Smith, remain lost at sea. It is usual for an update to be provided in respect of any ongoing investigation of this kind at least once a year, but the Unit says this would detract from the work of finalising the report into the causes of the crash. The AAIU is examining all aspects of the fatal flight, including the initial tasking of the crew on the night in question.
