The pilot carried out a planned series of short holiday flights for family celebration guests. At the 14th flight, shortly after takeoff, when the helicopter was transferred to a horizontal flight, the pilot noticed that the speed indicators of the carrier rotor and the engine were at the top red line. The pilot decided to immediately make a "safe" landing on the field he had before him. After landing, he checked the instruments, checked the functionality of the helicopter and returned in a small circle to the take-off point. It then appeared that the tail boom had suffered serious damage.
It appeared the main rotor blades had struck the tail boom.
Causes
The cause of the accident was contact between the rotor blades and the tail spar, caused by improper control of the controls during flight and inadequate control intervention during a forced landing into terrain.
