Incident · 1 killed · Substantial damage
Standing-engine(s) operating Loss of control on ground
Probable cause (NTSB): The non-certificated pilot’s failure to ensure the collective friction control was adequately engaged during an on-ground engine run, which resulted in the helicopter inadvertently becoming airborne. Contributing to the crash were the pilot’s various physical and mental conditions and his use of potentially impairing medications.
