Narrative:
Other Aircraft: GUMO BH06 Jet Ranger Canadian Helicopters (division east). After doing an engine inspection, the pilot of GLNK hovered the helicopter. Immediately afterward, the helicopter moved back and the tail rotor hit one of the rotor blades of GUMO. GUMO was parked just to the rear. The pilot sensed a vibration and landed the aircraft. The pilot was under the impression that the parked aircraft was further away. Damage to the parked aircraft (GUMO) was limited to a main rotor blade. The tail rotor of GLNK had to be replaced as well as the entire drivetrain system.
