Covering form of preliminary or final report
BackDescription:
In the afternoon on the preceding day, the pilot landed the helicopter on a private land near the village of Modrava in the Šumava National Park. He spent the night in a nearby guest house. On the next day, in spite of unfavourable meteorological conditions and insistence of his relatives on postponement of the flight the pilot decided to fly to LKKO. The pilot departed the area without being noticed by anybody. Nearly three hours later, the manager of the guest house found the helicopter wreckage in the forest, approx. 650 m from the place of the take-off. The helicopter was entirely destroyed by a crash against full-grown trees and the subsequent fall to the ground. The pilot succumbed to his injuries on the spot.
The guest house manager reported the accident to the operator at the emergency number 158. The Police of the Czech Republic, the FRS, and the AAII inspectors arrived at the location of the air accident and the inspectors performed inspection of the location and of the helicopter wreckage.
