The Delta Helicopters Bell 206B helicopter, registration C-GSHN, was approximately 1,000 feet above ground, on a reconnaissance flight over a forest fire near Mobile Bistcho airstrip in Alberta, when the engine (Allison 250-C20) decelerated to minimum idle speed. A forced landing was conducted onto a muskeg area adjacent to the fire, and on touchdown the main rotor struck and severed the tail boom. The pilot and passenger were uninjured. The field investigation discovered that the compressor pressure (Pc) line from the engine governor to the fuel control unit had separated.
