The Canadian military’s CH-148 Cyclone helicopters faced a 27-day grounding in May 2022 due to concerns over spare parts potentially exceeding their service life, with only one helicopter currently operational. The fleet, comprising 26 helicopters used for various naval missions, was paused on May 1 by the Commander of 1 Canadian Air Division until May 27, while investigations into component safety were conducted. Challenges persist for the Cyclone fleet, including aging systems and operational security concerns, as efforts continue to maintain and upgrade their capabilities for Royal Canadian Navy support.
