the Great Slave Helicopters Schweizer 269C (300C), registration C-FCKO, was en route from Plamondon, Alberta, to the Nixon 1 oil field site. As the helicopter was approaching the oil field site at approximately 300 feet above ground, the engine (Avco Lycoming HIO-360-D1A) began to run rough and would not produce sufficient power to maintain flight. The pilot attempted a forced landing on a nearby field; however, the rotor rpm decayed as he turned to approach into wind and the helicopter crashed into trees and brush approximately 50 feet from the edge of the field. The helicopter was substantially damaged and the pilot, the sole occupant, sustained serious injuries. Initial examination of the engine determined that the exhaust valve in the number 4 cylinder had failed.
