The pilot lowered the collective pitch lever, opened the throttle and turned towards lower terrain. The engine failed to deliver sufficient power for a sustained level flight and the pilot commenced an approach to an adjacent helipad. During the landing, the tail stinger and tail rotor struck the ground.
