“The State Emergency Service is preparing personnel changes based on the results of the checks”, — Igor Klymenko about the investigation of the plane crash in Brovary
The Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine told about this in an interview with Censor.net.
Igor Klymenko noted that after the disaster with the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Brovary, inspections at the State Emergency Service immediately began. Teams of specialists were sent there to inspect the technical condition of the helicopter fleet and check the training of personnel and documentation on the use of this European helicopter fleet. The economic activity of the State Emergency Service is also checked.
The Minister of the Interior stressed that one of the key findings of this audit will be the role of the leadership of this service in the organization of the general work, in particular the units that provided and provide the flights of the CIS aviation:
“What can I say now? There are questions about the training of technical personnel, pilots, the use of simulators of this aircraft, the use of fuel, the knowledge of a foreign language — in this case English — by the personnel who serve the helicopters. Because the knowledge of English by pilots should be mandatory when using such technology. This will save huge money on the operation of this transport. Every specialist who is allowed to service and operate this equipment must undergo additional training abroad.”
Igor Klymenko said that the helicopter, which was damaged in Brovary, was technologically superior to all helicopters of domestic production. The electronic system on such helicopters requires appropriate maintenance and appropriate knowledge in order not to make any mistake.
“Today, we are doing everything to ensure that the personnel who serve this park receive appropriate training, the pilots have the opportunity to learn and train on the appropriate simulators. And I will say that during that period the simulator did not work on the basis of one of our educational institutions, documents for it were not received. That is, there was a simulator, and there were no documents for it. Moreover, this simulator did not have an electronic flash drive that was supposed to launch it into use. Therefore, we are now correcting all the mistakes that were made earlier. And, of course, we must do everything possible and impossible so as not to repeat such a tragedy not only in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also in the country as a whole,” the Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs stressed.
