Calls for joy flight review after deadly Gold Coast Sea World helicopter crash
Helicopter joy flights should never have been approved in the area where the Sea World tragedy occurred, according to an aviation expert.
Neil Hansford, who has worked in the industry for 40 years, says the approval of several chopper operations kilometres apart from one another in a dense residential area would not have occurred in any other Australian city.
"If you have got an intense level of activity and you have got more than one operator in what is already a congested airspace … it is putting pressure on everybody," he said.
