The report provided by the company representative stated that the loader signaled to the helicopter pilot a thumbs up and walked down the stairs of the mobile loading platform. As the pilot was taking off, everything initially seemed normal until the pilot felt a tug on the helicopter. The helicopter pulled down and to the right and descended until it impacted the terrain in a right-side nose down attitude which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage, tail boom, and main rotor.

The flight instructor stated that his student was practicing hovering in the helicopter. While hovering, the helicopter began to “slide down and to the left”. As the flight instructor gave verbal instructions to the student, the helicopter yawed to the right as the collective was pulled and moved to the left toward the ground. He said he remembered the left skid contacted the ground as he attempted to recover. The flight instructor believed that the skid caught on a crack in the pavement which resulted in the helicopter rolling to its left side.
