Impacted ground during take-off. Skids damaged. The elevation of the accident site is 8,500 feet above the sea level
(ASL).
The accident was probably caused by the pilot’s inadequate preparation including loading and assessment of the helicopter’s expected performance on take-off at the high altitude area.
The helicopter’s engine performance at high altitude may have degraded slightly as a result of the internal defects and wear noted during the engine strip.
