The helicopter had landed on a ridge near to the former military air base Fällfors (ESUF), closed 2006, and removed one door to photograph an exhibition at the former air base.
During landing to collect the door after completing the photography, the helicopter achieved a high rate of decent, 550 ft per minute, hit the ground hard, caught fire and burnt out completely.
The pilot was taken to the hospital for fractures, neck injury and burns while the passenger also received serious injuries. Both had no clear memory of the crash or the moments after.
The SHK found that the main rotor blade fixings had traces of the blades being bent upward and forward, which meant that the rotor blades had probably coned. The investigation of the wreckage revealed no other errors or malfunctions relating to engine or flight controls.
The SHK concluded that the cause of the accident was that the pilot, for unknown reasons, lost control of the helicopter at the final stage of the landing. ex.51-13959.
