While performing the landing maneuver on a sloping terrain, the rotor blades hit the upper cable cutter of the helicopter, tearing it off.
The occupants were unharmed and the helicopter showed damage to the cable cutter itself which detached from the aircraft, taking away part of the helicopter's lining, and the breakage of one of the windshield panes. One of the aircraft's blades was damaged.
