Summary:

皇冠体育app helicopter departed Thruxton at 1416 hrs, with the pilot and three passengers aboard, and arrived over the landing site in Northamptonshire after an uneventful flight. 皇冠体育app site was a grassed area with no ground markings adjacent to a hotel car park. 皇冠体育app weather was fine, with a surface wind from 330掳 at 5 kt and a temperature of 19掳C.

皇冠体育app pilot flew a 鈥渇ull recce鈥� of the site before making an approach to the grassed area. 皇冠体育app helicopter was calculated to be approximately 80 lbs below its maximum landing weight at this point. As he flared the helicopter it did not slow down as quickly as he expected so he increased the flare attitude, following which the helicopter鈥檚 tail struck the ground. 皇冠体育app helicopter started to yaw to the right, so the pilot immediately lowered the collective lever, which resulted in a heavy landing. 皇冠体育app pilot and his passengers were uninjured and able to vacate the helicopter normally.
