Substantially damaged at 18:20 hours local time on 3 June 2013 in an accident at Lansing Municipal Airport, 3250 Bob Malkas Drive, Lansing, Cook County, Illinois (located 21 miles (34 km) south of Chicago, at approximate co ordinates: 41°32′33″N 87°32′18″W). The two persons on board (pilot under training and instructor) survived uninjured (see link #4). According to the official NTSB report into the accident:
"The pilot receiving instruction was demonstrating a 180-degree autorotation at the time of the accident and inadvertently overshot the intended ground target point. After rolling out of the turn, the pilot receiving instruction did not flare properly and, instead, increased collective until reaching the control stop resulting in a loss of main rotor speed. The flight instructor was unable to correct the pilot’s control inputs in time to prevent a hard landing. The landing skids collapsed, and the helicopter sustained substantial damage to the tail boom and fuselage. The flight instructor and pilot receiving instruction reported no pre-impact mechanical malfunctions or failures associated with the helicopter.
Probable Cause: Improper control inputs by the pilot-receiving-instruction and the inability of the flight instructor to correct the control inputs in sufficient time to avoid the hard landing."
