Narrative:Robinson R22 Beta, G-PERE was written off (damaged beyond repair) when rolled over whilst lifting to the hover, at East Lound, Doncaster, South Yorkshire 19 February 2019. The official AAIB report into the accident was published on 9 May 2019, and the following is the summary from that report:
"During a training flight, as the helicopter lifted into the hover, the student applied full left pedal in reaction to a right roll. This caused a dynamic rollover. The instructor was unable to react quickly enough to prevent the rollover."
