Australian Army Tiger helicopter pilots have agreed not to fly the aircraft after a recent incident and the decision not to ground the fleet.
The latest incident occurred while the aircraft was flying over the Cultana military training area in South Australia on Nov. 4. The crew detected fumes in the cockpit and landed safely at El Alamein Airfield.
The military refused to admit that the pilots are refusing to fly the aircraft and said the lack of flying was due to “a prolonged period in the field and absence from home”.
