The Robinson R22 Beta helicopter, registration C-GVAR, with an instructor and one student pilot on board, was on a day visual flight rules training flight 20 nautical miles north of the Toronto/Buttonville Municipal Airport, Ontario.
After 45 minutes of practicing autorotations, the student was flying the helicopter back to the airport. At 1,700 feet above ground level, the instructor simulated an engine failure. The student selected a field and executed a forced approach. At 40 feet above ground level, he began to flare the helicopter by moving the cyclic aft. As the descent continued, the helicopter was approaching tall trees at the end of the field, and the student pulled up hard on the collective. At that time, the instructor opened the throttle to initiate a recovery; however, the engine rotor rpm was low, and the engine did not respond. The descent could not be arrested, and the aircraft struck the ground at 14224 Warden Avenue, 10 miles North-West of Buttonville Municipal Airport, Toronto, Ontario
The tip of the left skid dug into the semi-frozen ground, and the helicopter pivoted forward onto its right side. Both pilots evacuated through the left door of the aircraft. Neither pilot was injured, although the helicopter was substantially damaged. The accident occurred at 10:40 eastern daylight time.
Aircraft presumably later written off (damaged beyond economic repair) as the registration C-GVAR was cancelled on 08-04-2012
