The Trans North Helicopters AS 350 B helicopter (C-GTNV) was slinging a net load of plywood on a 50-foot kevlar longline at about 35 knots at Burrage Creek, 8 NM W, when the pilot felt an event and saw that the line had separated about midway. After landing, the pilot noted substantial damage to the right horizontal stabilizer and one main rotor blade, with evidence of contact with one tail rotor blade. Examination of the electronic swivel revealed it had seized. The line had separated in at least 4 places, and one 9-foot section was not recovered. The swivel and line are to be examined by the TSB and the manufacturers.
