The helicopter was substantially damaged when it impacted terrain in a flight training area near Al Ain International Airport (OMAL), Al Ain, United Arab Emirates.
According to preliminary information, the local training flight was being operated under United Arab Emirates flight regulations. During the accident the transmission separated from the fuselage structure and the helicopter broke in to four pieces. The Flight instructor and student pilot were transported to a hospital for medical evaluation and were later released with minor injuries.
The air Accident Investigation Sector determines that the causes of the accident are:
• Instructor monitoring of the developing flight condition was insufficient to plan an effective
recovery.
• The throttle remained in the retarded position below the SOP requirement of 500ft AGL.
• The instructor intervened at the point on the critical path where an effective recovery was not
possible from the intervention decision altitude.
