Incident Overview
A helicopter accident occurred during a dual instructional flight when the right skid became stuck in boggy ground during a hover. The student pilot was at the controls at the end of a runway awaiting instructions from the tower when the skid contacted the ground and became embedded in the soft terrain. The instructor pilot took control in an attempt to recover, but the helicopter rolled over onto its side before recovery could be achieved.
Sequence of Events
The helicopter was in a hover at the runway's end while the student pilot awaited tower instructions. During the hover, the right skid contacted the ground and became stuck in boggy ground. This led to the helicopter entering a dynamic rollover. The instructor pilot assumed control to try to recover the aircraft, but the helicopter rolled over onto its side before the maneuver could be completed.
Occupant Status
