C-GXTO, an Aerospatiale AS 350 B-2 aircraft operated by Mustang Helicopters, was on a VFR training flight at Lacombe, AB (CEG3) with 3 persons on board. While conducting an autorotation with a power recovery, the training pilot noticed a high torque and N1 indications as power was being introduced in the flare. The training pilot reduced throttle in an attempt to keep torque and N1 within limits; however, the engine (Turbomeca Arriel 1D1) lost power. The autorotation was continued to touchdown, resulting in a hard landing. There were no injuries, however the aircraft sustained substantial damage to the tail boom, skid landing gear and the lower wire strike protection system.
