Aircraft Details
Helicopter built in 1980, serial number 2966, it has 10,174 total flight hours since new.
Accident Circumstances
On 15th October 2020, during a training session, the instructor pilot reduced engine power after take-off to simulate an engine stoppage. The pilot-in-training attempted to land but brought the cyclic stick backwards at touchdown and the main rotor blades came down and chopped off the tail rotor assembly and fin. The helicopter landed very heavy with low rotor RPM.
Damage
The vertical fin, transmission and all the tail section (tail boom, tail rotor gearbox, tail rotor blades, tail rotor hub assembly and tail rotor shafts) are scrap. The undercarriage is splayed, so the cross tubes need replacing. The engine requires hard landing and sudden stop inspections. All the avionics need to be bench-tested.

Accident Circumstances
On 12th March 2021, the helicopter took-off from an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico bound for the helipad of the harbour of Dos Bocas, Tabasco. According to the pilot’s report, during his final approach to land, the helicopter suddenly started to yaw (turn around its vertical axis) to the right: the tail rotor blade pitch (controlled by pedals in the cockpit) had reached its limit, so the helicopter started turning clockwise. The main rotor blades turn anti-clockwise, so the fuselage will turn clockwise if there is not enough, or no, counter-thrust from the tail rotor. Therefore, the pilot lowered the collective lever (pitch control) and decelerated the engines to attempt a normal landing, but hit the ground exceptionally heavily while still yawing.
Damage
Extensive damage to the fuselage structure. Skid landing gear collapsed under 10G+ deceleration of heavy landing. Compression of cabin at cabin floor and transmission deck level structure visible. Front vertical beam buckled and cabin twisted right and downwards.

Accident Circumstances
On 25th September2019, during a training session at Military Air Base #1, Santa Lucia, State of Mexico, the helicopter landed heavily on the right landing gear first and collapsed, the landing gear sponson structure was badly distorted.
Damage
The impact on the landing gear support box caused damage on the roof, floor and vertical panels that linked the two; therefore, the whole central section of the cabin should be replaced. The engines need a light overhaul; the landing gear is scrap. The tail rotor gearbox, main rotor dampers (4) and tail rotor servo-actuator were overhauled by Leonardo. Also, Leonardo repaired the main rotor blades (4), rotor blades (2) and main rotor servo-actuators (3).
