The helicopter was engaged in an aerial mustering operation. Whilst landing to disembark a passenger, the helicopter began experiencing intermittent cyclic control problems. The helicopter took off again and during the following mustering operation, the pilot tested the cyclic control and it responded normally. Soon after, the helicopter approached touchdown to reembark the passenger and all cyclic control was lost in the process. To avoid hitting the passenger, the pilot attempted a go-around but was unable to regain control. The helicopter impacted the ground nose-first and was substantially damaged. The pilot was seriously injured as a result of the impact.
