Narrative:Two helicopters of Heli Service Belgium (HSB), an AB206A (OO-SKE) and an AS355F1 (OO-HSH), were positioned and about to take-off at the Federal police heliport of D’Herbouville Kaai, Antwerp Belgium (5.8km West-North-West of Antwerp Airport) to broadcast a cycling race.
OO-HSH, positioned at the right side behind OO-SKE, takes off followed immediately by OO-SKE. Due to faulty communication (different communication frequencies) between the pilots on one hand, and between ground crew and pilots on the other hand, neither pilot is aware of the other helicopter’s take-off. A slight deviation to the right of OO-SKE leads to a collision of both helicopters; OO-SKE’s main rotor tears through the tail boom, vertical fin and the tail rotor of OO-HSH. Because of this, the latter crashed and impacts the wall of a building. The pilot of OO-SKE is able to make an emergency landing
The pilot survived. The wreck was sold to Dodson International Aircraft Parts, Rantoul, Kansas, USA.
