New Delhi, Jan 22 (PTI) The helicopter, which crashed last September claiming the life of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S R Reddy and four other persons, was "probably not airworthy" but this was not a contributing factor to the accident, an inquiry has found.
The probe panel, headed by Pawan Hans chief R K Tyagi, also established that there was "no evidence" to indicate any interference in the flight operations by the VIP on board.
The primary cause of the crash of the Bell-403 chopper on September 2 last year was the error of the crew, which after noticing a fault in the oil transmission pressure "was engrossed for vital six minutes before the impact in searching for the relevant checklist from the Flight Manual".
