Narrative:The aircraft was on approach to Perth Airport when it began to vibrate severely. The pilot declared an emergency and conducted a precautionary landing in a transport parking area. A post-flight inspection revealed that the stainless steel leading edge strip of one tail rotor blade was missing. The out-of-balance tail rotor caused substantial damage to the tail boom in the vicinity of the tail rotor blade. The stainless steel leading edge strip detached because the bond between the strip and the blade body was inadequate.
