Military announces the resumption of Cyclone helicopters

Senior military officials say there was a ``conflict'' between a Cyclone helicopter and its pilot, moments before the aircraft plunged into the water off the coast of Greece in April.

The Royal Canadian Air Force says reasons for that conflict remain under investigation, even as it announces the resumption of Cyclone flights.

Officials say they are implementing new training as well as restrictions on certain flight activities to prevent similar problems.

The entire helicopter fleet was temporarily grounded after the April 29th crash of a Cyclone into the Ionian Sea that left six service members dead.

Colonel John Alexander says, based on the conflict and the location of the aircraft, the crash was unavoidable.
