Narrative:
The pilot has completed a series of greenhouse cleaning operations.
The pilot indicated that he took off facing north, rising about three meters above the ground and turned right. He explained that the helicopter was suddenly pushed by a gust of wind and tilted to the right.
The pilot tried to counter the movement by placing the cyclic control to the left and then tried to land. The helicopter, still banked to the right, took a nose-down attitude. It struck the ground with an inclination to the right of around 120°.
