After entering the runway at about 3:30 p.m., it veered right and lost control at low altitude and low speed. The main rotor touched the ground, tilted left and overturned and stopped on the runway. The main rotor crashed and the aircraft body was damaged.

Investigation found that the captain of the accident helicopter had insufficient understanding of the characteristics of the tail rotor failure and the complete operating procedures. When performing the tail rotor failure operation, he failed to follow the operating procedures and did not grasp the operation. The key point is that during the operation, the feet were not placed on the directional control pedals, which caused the aircraft body to swerve to the right during the operation and failed to correct it in time, causing the main rotor to hit the ground and cause an out-of-control crash.
