"Sindisa" damaged beyond repair in hard forced landing after lost of power.
Probable Cause/s
(i）Following the seizure of the main transmission unit during flight the pilot executed a hard landing onto the beach due to insufficient height, which was aggravated by a substantial tail wind condition, this caused the left front skid gear assembly to dug into the soft sand, and swung the aircraft through 180° before coming to a halt in a nose high attitude
Contributory Factor:
(i) A significant contributory factor to the failure of the planetary drive train was initiated and aggravated by the influence of corrosion. The unit was out of operation on two separate occasions, the first being approximately 3½ years and the second time approximately 14 months. According to available information this was conducted without the necessary preservation mandated as called for in the BO 105 Maintenance Manual, Chapter 02-11.
(ii) The failure by the responsible maintenance / Operating organisation to comply/perform the supplementary 25-flight hour magnetic plug inspection on the main transmission mandated by the BO 105 Maintenance Manual, Chapter 101-5.1.1 should be regarded as a significant contributory factor to the accident.
