Investigations by the Trinidad and Tobago Civil Aviation Authority are underway after an emergency landing by a National Helicopter Services aircraft in the Cedros area on Tuesday morning. General Manager of National Helicopters Services, Mr. Joshey Mahabir, told C News that no one was harmed after the 5 seater aircraft was forced to land during a police operation exercise in the forested area of Granville. The National Security Operations Centre (NSOC) said the pilot was evacuated by the NSOC Air Division to the San Fernando General Hospital. NSOC Air Division also flew engineers of National Helicopter Services and the Trinidad and Tobago Civil Aviation Authority representatives to the scene of the accident. - Images courtesy NSOC
