On June 7, 2022, about 0940 eastern daylight time, an Enstrom F28F helicopter, N600TA, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Greenville, Ohio. The private pilot and the passenger (a student pilot) were fatally injured. The flight was conducted as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot and the passenger departed on a local flight in their helicopter and about 15 minutes later, the helicopter impacted the driveway at their residence. There were no witnesses to the accident and it could not be determined why they were operating the helicopter near their home. Impact marks at the accident site were consistent with the helicopter impacting the ground hard in a near-vertical descent. A postimpact fire consumed the aft cockpit area to the forward tail boom area, including the engine and both fuel tanks. Postaccident examination of the engine revealed no evidence of any preimpact mechanical malfunction or failure that would have precluded normal operation. Based on available information, the reason the helicopter impacted terrain could not be determined.
Probable Cause: An impact with terrain for undetermined reasons.
