Preparation and transport of Sea Kings on CC177

            SW2009-0205-076
20 June 2009
Pat Bay, British Columbia

Ten thousand pound tie down chains attach to the starboard Air Transport Kit (ATK) specialized landing gear tie down points at a different angle than normal when a Sea King is tied down on a ship.  CH12404 is being transported by Canadian Cargo 177703 Globemaster III to Australia.

This evolution must be carried out because every Sea King has to undergo a periodic inspection every 650 flying hours.  The CH12416 on HMCS Winnipeg has approx. 50 hours left, not enough to meet their commitments in theatre. CH12404 from Pat Bay is being down to Australia in the CC177 and CH12416 will be brought back to 12 Wing Shearwater for its overhaul.  This provides the navy with more operational options such as length and type of deployments.
