Substantially damaged at 14.30 hours local time on 18 August 2013 when crashed at Lee's Summit Municipal Airport,(LXT) Lee's Summit, Jackson County, Missouri. The two person on board survived with minor injuries. According to the official NTSB report into the accident:
"The flight instructor was providing primary helicopter instruction to a fixed-wing pilot on how to conduct 180-degree auto rotations. The instructor said the pilot entered the flare lower to the ground than usual and began to descend. By the time the instructor noticed the high descent rate, it was too late for him to recover and he was only able to apply full-up collective to cushion the impact. The helicopter landed hard spreading the skids. During the landing and the main rotor blades flexed downward and severed the tail boom.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's improper flare while performing an auto rotation and the flight instructor's delayed remedial action to correct the high sink rate, which resulted in a hard landing."
