Cause for fatal crash of Albanian Government
Air turbulence caused the deadly helicopter crash over the Adriatic Sea on July 16, 2006, that killed Albanias former Deputy Prime Minister Gramoz Pashko and five other people, according to an investigation by Tirana prosecutors. The conclusion of the investigation has finally rejected number of possible scenarios that have been previously evaluated by the Albanian authorities and media, among them also the possible problems with navigation equipment due to extensive use of mobile phones during the flight.
The Republic of Albania only dedicated VIP helicopter, a twin-engine Bell Model 222UT (registered ZA-HOV, ex SE-HOV, c/n 47555), has crashed in the Adriatic Sea, near the Albanian coast, while performing night EMS flight on way to Italy. The control tower at Tirana International Airport has made the last radio contact with the helicopter at 22.17 local time (20.17 GMT) while the aircraft was flying at a high of 3,300ft (1,000 meters), above Adriatic Sea, west of the port city of Durres. One minute later, at 22.18 local time (20.18 GMT), the helicopter has disappeared from the radar screen some 27 miles (43 kilometers) from the Albanian coast. The extensive search for locating and recovery of Albanian Bell 222UT has finally come to an end on August 10th, almost one month following the fatal crash. As a result, parts of the helicopter have been recovered (most of them being from Honeywell LTS-101-750C turboshafts engines) for further investigation although the bodies of the victims in this accident were not found.
The crash of Albanian Government Bell 222UT is the second worst helicopter tragedy that has ever happened in Albania. It is little known that on November 22, 1989, two Albanian Air Force Mi-4 helicopters (serials 6-50 and 6-44) performing Search and Rescue mission collided with each other - apparently due to bad weather. All on board, more than 36 persons, were killed in what is considered the worst ever tragedy to happen in Albania.
Apart from being Albanias second worst helicopter tragedy ever, the crash of Albanian Bell 222UT is also last in line of five fatal VIP aircraft accidents that happened in the Balkans over the previous 10 years. The first accident happened on April 3, 1996, when United States Air Force T-43A plane (registered 73-1149, c/n 20696/347), a military version of a Boeing 737 airliner, had strayed off course and crashed into a hill while making an NDB approach to Dubrovnik Airport, Croatia, killing Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and 34 others. On September 15, 1999, Dassault Falcon 900B (registered SX-ECH, c/n 026), owned by the Greek Air Force and operated by Olympic Airways, that was carrying Greek Government delegation to Bucharest, Romania, has experienced 10 oscillations in pitch axis which exceeded the limit maneuvering load factor as a result of what seven passengers of thirteen aboard have gained fatal injuries, among them Greek Minister in charge of European affairs, Yiannos Kranidiotis. The third accident happened on February 26, 2004, when Macedonian Government Beech King Air 200 (registered Z3-BAB, c/n BB-652) crashed on approach to Mostar Airport, Bosnia and Herzegovina, killing all nine aboard, including Macedonian President Boris Trajkovski. This was followed on September 11, 2004, by crash of Greek Army CH-47D Chinook helicopter (serial ES 916) that went down off the coasts of Mount Athos, in northern Greece, claiming the life of Patriarch Petros of Alexandria and 16 other traveling on board.
