Robinson R44 II G-JINT: Substantially damaged 19 April 2023 in a start-up incident at Staverton (Gloucestershire) Airport, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Correspondence-only Report dated 10 August 2023, and the following is the summary from that report:
"On startup, the helicopter spun around twice while on the ground. The pilot, who was secured in a five-point harness, turned the throttle off and mixture to lean which brought the helicopter to a standstill. The pilot was uninjured and stated that he could not be sure of his feet position on the pedals during start. He did not consider the helicopter was overpowered at start, but has since purchased an additional weight for solo flights and is more aware of his feet position during engine start".
