Narrative:The pilot chose to undertake an oblique takeoff from a helipad in the mountains whose environment was constrained by numerous obstacles and with a helicopter close to the maximum authorized weight, leaving a low power reserve for takeoff.
After starting the forward translation, the pilot quickly considered, by observing the first limit indicator (IPL), that the power available would not allow him to clear the trees located in the axis, and preferred to stop the takeoff. He reduced his speed and elected to turn right to make an emergency landing on the road. During the manoeuvre, he was unable to avoid the power line and a wooden panel located at the edge of the helipad. Shortly after, the helicopter struck the ground and rolled onto its right side.
