A Bell 505 JetRanger X helicopter suddenly descended and impacted the ground two minutes after takeoff from Kazbegi Helicopters base, Georgia. The pilot and two employees of the Rooms Hotel were killed.
The work carried out during the investigation - examinations and studies showed, that the Garmin and the EECU recorded data can not explain the reason for switching the switch, on the collective pitch lever from the flight position to the idle position and the reason of the sudden start of the helicopter's descent, during which the lowering of the collective pitch lever (XPC) all the way down, which is a necessary condition for maintaining autorotation for performing a safe landing, practically does not occur and finished with collided of helicopter with ground.
