The student pilot was making an approach for landing. The certified flight instructor noticed the ground was getting closer and the manifold pressure indicated 25 inches. The flight instructor took over the flight controls and increased the throttle, but there appeared to be no response. The flight instructor stated he leveled the helicopter and collided with the ground in a level attitude and the helicopter rolled over on it's left side. Examination of the crash site revealed the helicopter collided with the ground left skid low at a 45-degree angle to the flight path. The left skid collapsed, the cross tube support brackets were broken, and the right skid was intact.
Probable Cause: The certified flight instructor's inadequate aircraft control and his improper landing flare resulting in a hard landing and roll over.
