Written off (destroyed) 27-07-1993: The aircraft was destroyed when it reportedly crashed in fields at Okuma-Cho, Fukushima, Japan, whilst flying in poor visibility. The helicopter was engaged agricultural (crop spraying/top dressing) operations, and the pilot - the sole person on board - was killed
Cause (translated from Japanese):
In this accident, the Aircraft flew in bad weather due to sea fog, so when it approached the power transmission line and made a sharp right turn at a low speed to avoid it, the tail rotor lost its function and turned right. It is presumed that this was due to the crash that could not be avoided from the rolling state.
