The following is an update of the NTSB's investigation into the
crash of an ERA Aviation, Inc. Sikorsky S-76A++ twin-engine turbine
powered helicopter (N579EH) on Tuesday, March 23, 2004, in the Gulf
of Mexico.
The on-scene portion of the accident investigation concluded on
Saturday, April 3. Before the investigative team left, a sweeper
ship dragged the debris field for small parts of the wreckage that
might still have been there. Those parts (probably comprising about
1 percent of the aircraft) were delivered to Lake Charles,
Louisiana, where they were documented and secured with the rest of
the wreckage.
