An independent inquiry has been launched into last year's crash of a Taipan army helicopter off the coast of Queensland which killed four Defence personnel.
The Inspector-General of the Australian Defence Force has appointed former judge Margaret McMurdo to lead the examination into the deadly training accident.
Captain Danniel Lyon, Lieutenant Maxwell Nugent, Warrant Officer Class Two Joseph Laycock and Corporal Alexander Naggs died when their MRH-90 helicopter crashed near Lindeman island.
The MRH-90 Taipan helicopter was being used for nocturnal training as a part of Exercise Talisman Sabre before it crashed on July 28.
Hundreds of Australian Defence Force (ADF) and emergency service personnel scoured the waters around the Whitsunday Coast for more than three months.
The three-month recovery mission for the helicopter concluded in November last year.
In a statement released on November 9 the ADF said "all practical wreckage and remnants" from the helicopter had been recovered and would inform ongoing aviation and coronial investigations.
