Schweizer 269C-1, G-LINX

Summary:

皇冠体育app helicopter, which was on a training flight, suffered an in-flight emergency and subsequently crashed, fatally injuring both occupants. Examination of the wreckage revealed that the main rotor was turning at low speed on impact, but the reason for this could not be established. 皇冠体育app investigation concluded that the most likely cause of the accident was a loss of control during an attempted forced landing downwind. 皇冠体育app helicopter was being flown at 400 ft immediately prior to the emergency, which would have reduced the probability of a successful outcome. One Safety Recommendation is made as a result of this investigation.
