The Ultra Helicopters Ltd. AS 350BA helicopter, C-FXMJ, landed in a clearing about 10 NM northeast of Wabasca, AB to pick up a fire crew. After liftoff and acceleration through 30 knots, a main rotor vibration was detected, and the aircraft was landed in a clearing about 800 meters away. The main rotor blades had sustained damage in the trim tab area, likely from contact with a tree. The helicopter was grounded on-site, and due to fading daylight, the pilot and four passengers were extracted the next day.
