What happened
On June 2, 2021, at approximately 22:35 UTC, an AW139 helicopter, registration PR-OTF, was conducting a night-time training mission involving offshore takeoffs and landings. The flight originated from Jacarep_paguá Aerodrome, bound for the SS-75 Ocean Courage maritime unit in the Santos Basin.
As the aircraft was in the final phase of its approach for the first offshore landing, the main rotor collided with structures located near the platform's helideck. The impact caused widespread damage to the aircraft's structure, including the destruction of the main rotor blades and internal fragmentation of the engine. The collision also damaged the platform's fire station, handrails, ladders, and various sensors.
The pilot in command sustained minor injuries, and the passenger was uninjured. However, the second-in-command and an occupational safety technician on the helideck suffered serious injuries.
