Narrative:Shortly after take-off, the Hughes 369D helicopter developed a severe tail rotor vibration. The pilot immediately began a descent to position the aircraft for a precautionary landing. At about 75 feet above the ground, the tail rotor assembly fell off, causing the helicopter to suddenly pitch nose down and yaw to the right. The pilot entered an autorotation and landed without injury or further damage.
