Seven minutes after takeoff, in initial climb, the pilot perceived a noise coming from the back. The engine stopped a few seconds later, the pilot performed an autorotation and landed in a vineyard.
The tail rotor hit the ground and the tail boom was damaged.
The examination of the engine revealed a broken connecting rod. The matting on the fracture surfaces prevented the search for the origin of the failure.
