Rolled onto side during experience day flight, Welshpool Airport, Powys, 1 September 2023
Summary
The helicopter, in a low hover, suffered from a dynamic rollover during a flight with a passenger on a helicopter experience day. The accounts of the pilot and passenger differed as to who was controlling the cyclic during the moments before the helicopter struck the ground; the AAIB investigation was unable to resolve these differences.
