Incident Sequence
After completing a local flight, the pilot guided the helicopter onto a trailer specifically designed for its transport. The left skid initially contacted the metal platform, followed by the right skid being lowered into position. As the helicopter began to lose its grip on the trailer surface, the pilot increased collective pitch in an effort to regain stability. Instead, the helicopter rolled to the left, resulting in the main rotor blades striking the ground and the tail boom being detached from the airframe.
Damage and Fire
The helicopter came to rest on its skids. The fuel tank was breached during the sequence, leading to a post-impact fire. The fire consumed a majority of the helicopter's structure, causing extensive damage. The aircraft was largely destroyed by the flames.
Investigation Status
The circumstances surrounding the incident are under review. No further details about the pilot, environmental factors, or operational history have been released. The investigation aims to determine the exact chain of events that led to the loss of control and subsequent fire.
