Guimbal Cabri G2 G-CJEK crashed just before noon on 20 June 2022, into a field off Bentham Road, near Burton in Lonsdale during approach to land and was destroyed by a post impact fire. Both occupants died at the scene.
The aircraft departed a private site with the intention of flying a local experience flight. As the helicopter returned to land at the departure point, it made a left turn away from the landing site and began a shallow climb. It began to yaw to the left, initially with a normal attitude before the nose dropped. The helicopter continued to yaw to the left, the nose dropped further and it rapidly descended into a tree.
Conclusion
The evidence recovered in this investigation was not sufficient to determine the cause of the accident. Based on the evidence available, the investigation concluded the cause was likely to be one or more of the following factors; a mechanical failure, an incorrect pilot response to unexpected environmental conditions, an inadvertent passenger input or restriction on the controls, or pilot partial or complete medical incapacitation.
