Incident Overview
A pilot reported that after about 20 minutes of flight, he returned to a private runway. Upon descending to the runway, he initiated a hover taxi toward the opposite end. During the maneuver, the helicopter's right skid made contact with the grass adjacent to the runway, causing the helicopter to roll over onto its right side. The main rotor blades sustained damage as a result of the rollover.
Pilot Statement
The pilot noted that there were no pre-accident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the helicopter that would have precluded normal operation. He also stated his belief that the accident could have been prevented if he had reacted more quickly.
Damage Assessment
The rollover resulted in damage to the main rotor blades. No other damage items were specified in the report. The extent of damage to the airframe or other components was not detailed.
Contributing Factors
The investigation did not identify any causal factors beyond the pilot's reported contact with the grass. No analysis or conclusions regarding the pilot's reaction time or other factors were provided in the source material.
