Four people are feared dead after an Australian Army helicopter crashed into the ocean off north Queensland - the second emergency involving the trouble-plagued MRH90 Taipan fleet in less than six months.

It is not clear yet what caused the helicopter to ditch into waters near Hamilton Island about 10.30pm on Friday (local time) during a two-helicopter training mission.

But it came just months after another incident involving a Taipan helicopter off the New South Wales south coast.

In March, 10 ADF personnel - including special forces soldiers - had to be rescued after the MRH90 ditched into the sea at Jervis Bay during counterterrorism exercises.
