What: United Heli Charters BELL 212 en route from Chennai to Pondicherry
Where: Sulerikattukuppam, at Soolerikadu near Mahabalipuram on East Coast Road
When: 9.30am. 22 December 2009
Who: 2 pilots and an engineer
Why: After developing a fuel transmission system problem ( pilot noticed a leak in the transmission) while over the sea, the helicopter descended to a lower altitude. However, the low altitude made communication with ATC difficult, and communication from ATC was triangulated through available aircraft who were able to make contact.
The helicopter made an emergency landing described as “force-landing” and “successful” in the sands near the beach–which hopefully means no injuries.
Sulerikattukuppam is a fishing hamlet off the East Coast Road
