The Mi-8 bounced after a hard landing. The tail boom broke off and the helicopter become uncontrollable as it fell down and burst into flames immediately due to the leaking fuel.
It had just set down a large flag, carried as an under-slung load. This was part of the opening of an aviation exhibition at the airport.
The accident - according to the MAK report - had happened due to entering a vortex ring state after a low-horizontal speed approach flying backwards - what is not a reccomended (nor allowed) piloting technique on Mi-8. The pilot/s failed to recovery (and maybe also to recognize) this vortex ring state and a recovery at that altitude was not successfull. Sadly, the firefighting cars were not on the apron during the event and it took 4 to 5 minutes for them to arrive to the accident site.
