A Robinson R66 Turbine helicopter at Konakovo Airfield (UUEL), Tver Oblast, struck a mast and overturned.
There were no casualties and the helicopter received substantial damage.
Conclusion
The aviation accident involving helicopter R66 RA-07372 occurred in the daytime, in visual weather conditions, while travelling (taxiing by air) backwards as a result of a collision of the helicopter's tail rotor with a windsock mast, which led to the loss of the helicopter's control and its collision with the ground surface.
The most likely contributing factors were:
- insufficient caution on the part of the helicopter's captain before performing a backward movement (taxiing through the air);
- Organisation by Konakovo-Service Ltd. of the reception and release of the crews of the aircraft to participate in the XV AOPA-Russia Conference without determining and taking into account the probable risks.
