Description:
CZ 11 212 EN
On 25 June 2011, AAII got a notification of the accident of a Schweizer 269C-1 helicopter on Sports Flying Device (SFD) Šumvald airfield. The pilot made a flight with another person on board. He was making a run-down landing. Shortly after the skids touched the ground, as it moved forward, the helicopter began to swerve to the right. As the directional control was ineffective, the pilot tried to stop helicopter tilting and lift it by deflecting cyclic pitch control and raising the collective pitch. However, as the skid hit a field surface inequality, the helicopter began to tilt and turned over portside. The crew was not injured. The helicopter was damaged by overturn, its main rotor blades having hit the ground.
