The helicopter was flown by the student with an instructor to Nottingham City Airport for a training exercise on hovering and hover-taxiing. After a one-hour training detail, the helicopter was hover-taxied to the parking area and shut down for a break of approximately 30 minutes. This was followed by a further, similar training exercise.
The helicopter was started up and the student hover-taxied towards the Runway 09 threshold, with the instructor following through on the controls. After about 15 minutes they re-positioned towards the grass to the south of the runway. At the time of the accident the student was hover-taxiing the helicopter slowly downwind at a height of about 5 feet, with the instructor continuing to follow through on the controls.
In the instructor’s opinion the student was performing reasonably well for the conditions. The student then began over-controlling and, without warning, made a sudden large forward cyclic control input. Before the instructor could intervene, the helicopter adopted a pronounced nose-down attitude and the front of the skids struck the ground. It then rolled onto its left side, sustaining considerable damage. Both occupants were able to exit unassisted
Registration G-ODJB cancelled by the CAA on 27/10/2009 as "Permanently withdrawn from use"
