The pilot and the instructor took off around 15:25 and transferred to the refueling station located a few hundred meters from the area where the helicopter was parked. The pilot indicated that he felt a slight imbalance in the cyclic pitch control when he arrived close to the refueling area. He adds that during the landing, he felt strong vibrations whose amplitude increased rapidly. The instructor explained that he then took over the controls. He did not succeed in recovering control of the helicopter which broke up.
The helicopter probably entered into resonance at the moment of contact of the skids with the ground. Ground resonance is a divergent oscillatory movement due to the setting in resonance of the cell of the helicopter with the ground under the excitation of the vibrations of the blades in drag.
