Narrative:On June 19, 2023, at 1310 central daylight time, a Robinson R22 Beta, N4076H, was involved in an accident near Cedar Lake, Indiana. The flight instructor and a student pilot were uninjured. The helicopter was operated under Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 as an instructional flight.
The flight instructor stated they performed a vortex ring prior to the accident. The student pilot, who was also the flight instructor’s son, said the helicopter was not producing power. The flight controls were then transferred to the flight instructor, and the helicopter started to descend. The flight instructor said he then proceeded to turn northbound and land on Cedar Lake. The flight instructor said that when he set the helicopter down into the lake, he pushed the cyclic to the left so that the rotor would hit the water. The helicopter sustained substantial damage to the tailboom and vertical stabilizer.
The wreckage was retained for further examination.
