Narrative:On June 19, 2023, at about 0300 local time, a Bell AH-1F Cobra helicopter of the Royal Jordanian Air Force 12th Squadron, registration 1213, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident in Al-Baqa'a near Abu Nseir, Jordan.
The two pilots received moderate injuries, which later proved fatal for one of them. The helicopter was operating on a local training flight.
A review of an online video of the accident sequence shows the helicopter descending rapidly towards the ground following an apparent inflight emergency. The helicopter landed hard, shearing the tail rotor and rotated before coming to rest upright. It appears the pilots were trying to make an autorotation.
