Description:

The helicopter pilot with another person on board planned an approximately one hour flight into the area southwest of the town of České Budějovice in order to verify the behaviour of the helicopter after it was serviced. After briefly flying over LKHS, the pilot flew away from the aerodrome towards the southwest. He entered the ATZ of LKCS at the western edge of the town of České Budějovice and continued in the original direction of the flight at an altitude of approximately 50 m AGL. The helicopter crashed onto a grassy area west of a water tower. The impact into the ground and subsequent fire completely destroyed the helicopter. The pilot and the passenger of the helicopter sustained injuries incompatible with life.
