According to the pilot, the flight was a Federal Air Regulations, (FAR) Part 135.293 check ride being administered by the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA check pilot was occupying the left seat. They had completed two successful autorotations with power recovery at the Ormond Beach Airport, and were conducting the accident autorotation as a final landing at the completion of the check ride. He stated he was a little high for the chosen touchdown spot, and performed "S" turns to lose altitude. When he started a deceleration and rolled throttle on, the rotorcraft continued to descend and suffered a hard touchdown and bounce. On the second touchdown, the rotorcraft began a right yaw and teetered between left and right landing skids until the main rotor impacted the runway and rolled over.
Probable Cause: The failure of the pilot to maintain directional control following a hard landing resulting from a failure to maintain rotor rpm.
