The Aérospatiale AS 355F2 Ecureuil II, 9M-SSZ, was experienced a hard landing while carrying out a hover check for intermittent tripping of the auto-pilot (AFCS). There was one pilot and three maintenance crew onboard at the time.
During the hover check the pilot stated that he wanted to check the servo light functionality. However, instead of pushing the SERVO push-button he later stated that he may have unintentionally pushed the ACCU (Accumulator) momentary push-button instead.
Before he could even lower his hand back down to the collective the aircraft violently slammed down onto the tarmac.
CONCLUSION
The pilot contributed to the accident by pushing the wrong push-button during a hover check.
