On 27 June 2022, a parked Cessna FR172H Rocket aircraft (N53SB) was damaged by helicopter down wash from a Eurocopter EC155 B1 at Sandown Airport (EGHN), Sandown, Isle of Wight. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Correspondence-only Investigation, and the following is the summary from the AAIB Accident Report:
"27 Jun 2022: EC155 B1, G-HCNX, Sandown Airport, Isle of Wight
As G-HCNX hover taxied to a pre-agreed parking location, its down wash lifted the right wing of a Cessna 172 (N53SB) parked approximately 30 metres downwind. The Cessna’s left wing struck the ground, causing a visible crease in its outboard leading edge. The helicopter pilot stated that greater consideration could have been given to the prevailing wind when parking."
