The Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has launched a probe into the landing of a chopper in a residential area.
It is unclear when the helicopter landed and in which particular area.
Director General of the GCAA, Lieutenant Colonel (ret’d) Egbert Field yesterday told Stabroek News that investigators are currently compiling a report on their findings.
It is suspected that the chopper landed at Belvoir Court, Georgetown.
Field stated that the investigation will have to determine why the helicopter landed there. He noted that while the chopper has not been identified it should not be a difficult task since there is a small number of choppers in the country fitting that description.
From the video, the registration number is not clear. The video, first posted on social media site Tik Tok, showed the helicopter on a street in a residential area. It is illegal for a chopper to land in a residential area, Field said.
Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill yesterday said he was not in a position to comment on the issue as he was awaiting a report from the GCAA. That report is expected to be on his desk by today.
