HMS Trent: Helicopters
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the outcome was of the recent trial by HMS Trent of the Helicopter Visual Landing Aid System.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The recent trials of the Helicopter Visual Landing Aid System (HVLAS) onboard HMS Trent was a success. Three days of rigorous testing through day and night landings by a Wildcat Helicopter has shown the technology to be effective. As a result, we plan to fit HMS Spey, another Batch 2 Offshore Patrol Vessel, with HVALS as she enters scheduled refit.
