The helicopter crashed on a truck while attempting to take off from a LP fuel depot. Four passengers were injured. One person on the ground was injured to a leg.
Proabable Cause:
Loss of revolutions of the main rotor, during vertical take-off with ground effect (HIGE), without achieving controlled translational horizontal flight, the aircraft collapsing and impacting vehicles and the terrain".
Contributing factors:
1 Atmosphere rarefied by gases, in conditions of restricted Altitude-density.
2 Possible excess weight for the environmental conditions that prevailed at the time of the event: calm wind, high ambient temperature, unfavorable Altitude-Density, low height above ground to adequately face the emergency.
3. Possible overconfidence, considering the practically new condition of the aircraft.
4. Inappropriate decision making regarding conditions and type of operation.
5. Possible misuse of the torque limiting system.
6. Corporate and/or senior management pressure, due to the type of executive operation being carried out.
