CDS Gen Jonathan Vance says the flight data and voice recorders have been recovered and a flight is being dispatched to bring them back to Canada for analysis. At this point the cause of the crash is unknown.
HMCS Fredericton will continue its search for its missing crew members who CDS describes as enduring a time of agony. There will be an investigation into what caused “Stalker” the call sign on the Cyclone, to go down.
Cyclones are now grounded but are on “an operational pause” CDS says while they determine if there is a fleet wide problem.
