Sökinsatsen around Klåverön where an airplane was feared to have crashed is called off. Mistakes from a helicopter caused the alarm.
The clock 20:02 was sent distress signals from an aircraft’s transponder.
– The plane was then on the west side of Klåverön, says Mathias Hansson of sea and air rescue center.
The alarm to the Maritime Administration’s air and sea rescue came from the flight line at Landvetter that for a few minutes heard a distress alert from an aircraft at low altitude. Radar information showed an echo at low altitude south of Klåverön outside Marstrand.
Five boats and a helicopter was sent to the area and began the search in the water sector.
The clock 20:28 discovered the Maritime Administration rescue helicopters another helicopter landed on an island in the area.
The rescue helicopter landed and checked the privately owned helicopter.
– Everything indicates that it is this helicopter accidentally started its emergency alarm. A few minutes before 21 o’clock was suspended the rescue operation, said Daniel Lindblad, press officer at the Swedish Maritime Administration.
