The Canadian Forces says it has reached a milestone for the CH-148 Cyclone helicopter project, with the aircraft, fully manned, landing on a Canadian warship at sea. That happened on Jan. 27 on HMCS Halifax off the coast of Nova Scotia.

HMCS Halifax participated in “ship helo operating limits” (SHOL) trials last year. Those went for five months. The SHOL trials restarted in January.

HMCS Halifax will continue to operate with the Cyclone helicopter fleet for the remainder of the winter, conducting SHOL trials and furthering the ongoing integration of the Cyclone helicopter into naval operations, writes Sub-Lieutenant McCarthy, a member of HMCS Halifax’s crew, who provided updates on the program for the DND website.
