The pilot was undertaking type rating training nearing the completion of his CPL(H). Because of traffic and mowing activity at Nelson Airport, the instructor elected to carry out the training at a forestry site that both he and the pilot had used extensively. After 1.1 hours of dual training, the instructor briefed the pilot to carry out one solo circuit before they returned to Nelson. As the pilot applied throttle to accelerate the main rotor, the helicopter entered ground resonance. The helicopter was destroyed. The rotor rpm had not reached the flight range, so the pilot was unable to lift off (the normal recovery action).
