Following this incident in May 2020, a formal investigation was conducted by the Air Corps Flight Safety Officer in accordance with the Air Regulations Manual. This investigation was to examine the technical and operational aspects of the incident and will make appropriate recommendations. 

The report resulting from this investigation was completed earlier this year which included a number of recommendations. I will arrange for a copy of the report to be shared with the Deputy over the coming days.
