Lumut helicopter crash report: Fennec entered flight path of AW139

The collision between the two Royal Malaysian Navy helicopters in Lumut boiled down to two factors, the main one being that the Eurocopter Fennec was not at the designated altitude and heading, and entered the flight path of the Agusta Westland AW139 Maritime Operations Helicopter (HOM).
The secondary factor was the attention of the AW139 crew, which was focused on changing course, limiting their ability to avoid the collision.
Navy chief Admiral Tan Sri Abdul Rahman Ayob, who announced this, also confirmed that no human error was found in their investigation.
