JAYAPURA, Papua: Technical problems forced an Air Force helicopter to make an emergency landing at Terpones airport in Keerom regency.
Four people were on board the helicopter: the pilot, the co-pilot and two technicians.
The co-pilot, identified as David, was slightly wounded during the landing. He was rushed to the Air Force's health clinic in Sentani near Jayapura.
"Only David was injured," said Capt. Biyantoro from the Sentani base.
Biyantoro said that the helicopter made the emergency landing due to a malfunctioning instrument panel. "All the indicators on the panel were off, confusing the pilot," he said.
