The helicopter hit the ground hard while it was filming a traffic incident at Baskerville for Channel 10 following loss of tail rotor effectiveness (LTE), precipitating an unanticipated right yaw and temporary loss of control.
The helicopter landed on its side in a paddock with the tail section broken off.
Both occupants were uninjured.
The ATSB found that when the pilot turned to the right to commence the orbit, the helicopter was exposed to a crosswind from the left while at an airspeed around the 30 kt threshold value for susceptibility to loss of tail rotor effectiveness (LTE), precipitating an unanticipated right yaw and temporary loss of control. The pilot regained sufficient control for a forced landing, but he did not use full left pedal as recommended for loss of tail rotor effectiveness, resulting in a likely delay in recovery.
