The helicopter departed the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources helicopter base with the pilot and three passengers on board. Approximately two minutes into the flight and at an altitude of 300 feet above the ground (agl), a loud bang was heard, followed immediately by an engine out horn and light. The pilot entered an autorotation and, as he was flying over a forest, extended the glide to reach a road. The main rotor rpm decayed during the extended glide, and the low rotor rpm light and horn were on when the helicopter touched down hard on the road. The helicopter bounced back into the air, moved to the left about six feet, touched down again, and came to rest in an upright attitude. The tail boom was severed by the main rotor blades during the landing. There were no injuries to any of the occupants.
