Landing Incident
An agricultural pilot was landing his helicopter on a field road after a local flight. During touchdown, the right skid settled into a ditch, causing the helicopter to tip. A main rotor blade then contacted the ground and subsequently struck the tail boom, severing the tail rotor drive shaft. The loss of tail rotor control caused the aircraft to begin spinning.
The pilot managed to set the helicopter down while it was still spinning. Upon landing, the skids collapsed, and the helicopter rolled onto its left side. The pilot egressed from the aircraft uninjured. After the accident, the pilot transported the wreckage to his home in Arkansas before reporting the incident.
No further details about the helicopter's make, model, registration, or specific location were provided.
