On 15 November 2002 during a dual training flight, the student was engaged in a hovering exercise over the helipad, east of runway 06 at FAWB (Wonderboom). A right yaw ensued and the student inadvertently applied full right rudder. The instructor immediately applied full left rudder to counteract the yaw, but could not arrest the yaw, resulting in the main rotor making contact with the ground and the helicopter rolled over. The occupants were not hurt, but the aircraft sustained extensive damage. The instructor pilot was the holder of a valid commercial licence and the aircraft type was endorsed into his logbook. He also held an instructor's rating (Gr III), endorsed on his instructors' rating and a valid, unrestricted medical certificate, which lapses on 31 May 2003. The operating company (John Bassi Helicopters CC) had a valid Aviation Training Organisation and Approval Number, CAA/0150. According to available records the aircraft was correctly maintained and has flown a total of 21.4 Hrs since the last MPI. PROBABLE CAUSE: The instructor was unable to recover (arrest the yaw) after the student pilot applied full right rudder instead of left rudder to compensate for the right yaw.
