| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The flight instructor in the skid-equipped helicopter reported that, during hover practice, he transferred the flight controls to the student while the helicopter was hovering about 3 ft above ground level (agl). He added that he should have started the hover practice at 5 ft agl, which was the normal procedure. Shortly after, the hover became unstable, and the instructor took the flight controls, but he was not able to regain control of the helicopter. The left skid contacted the ground, and the helicopter rolled onto its side.
The helicopter sustained substantial damage to the tailboom and vertical stabilizer.
The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the helicopter that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The flight instructor's decision to conduct hover practice at a lower altitude than recommended and his delayed remedial action during recovery from an unstable hover, which resulted in a dynamic rollover.
