An instructor planned training flights for the PPL(H). After arriving at the aerodrome, the student-pilot under the supervision of the instructor performed a pre-flight inspection.
The start-up of the helicopter engine was uneventful. Under the supervision of the instructor, the student performed a check flight along the aerodrome traffic circuit, to which the instructor had no comments. Around 7:45 hrs LMT, the instructor left the helicopter and, after establishing radio communication, permitted the student to take off for a solo flight along the aerodrome traffic circuit, which was acknowledged by the student. During an attempt to take-off (hover), the helicopter began to roll to the right side while turning left around its vertical axis. At the beginning the rear part of the helicopter right skid was in contact with the ground.
A moment later the main rotor blades hit the ground, and the helicopter dynamically turned over on its right side. The student fell out of the helicopter and walked away unaided to a safe distance, without sustaining any injuries. Shortly after a fire occurred, as a result of which the helicopter was destroyed.
Cause of the occurrence:
Delayed reaction of the student in response to helicopter roll to the right side with a simultaneous abrupt movement of the collective upward.
