The private pilot was receiving a checkout in the helicopter from the flight instructor, and they were practicing pick-ups and touchdowns on the non-movement area of the airport. The flight instructor was demonstrating a pick-up to the pilot when the helicopter rolled left (due to a wind gust) and reached an angle where the instructor described that he was unable to recover, resulting in a dynamic rollover.

In a Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief (HADR) mission, time is of the essence – whether that’s a rapid reaction to rescue people, gaining situational awareness through reconnaissance, or through the delivery of vital first supplies, like water. The Royal Navy AW159 Wildcat HMA Mk2, from 815 Naval Air Squadron at RNAS Yeovilton in Somerset, is regularly forward deployed and therefore has been first on the scene when it comes to HADR missions worldwide, but particularly in the Caribbean and Bahamas regions. These regions have been vulnerable over the years to hurricanes and natural disasters where people have been stranded in remote locations.
