What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The pilot-in-command (PIC) made a VFR approach to a helideck located at HI-344A. The approach was terminated at a hover on the north edge of the landing area, and the pilot not flying, (SIC) stated, "you're over the deck". The pilot flying then proceeded to land the aircraft. The crew felt the aircraft move slightly rearward and noticed that it then quickly settled in a left main landing gear low position. The non-flying pilot then reported that the left main gear had penetrated the safety fence and that the aircraft could not be moved. The PIC instructed the SIC to unload the passengers and escort them below deck. Subsequently, the aircraft was shut down, secured to the deck, and phi operations was notified. Both pilots were counseled by an FAA operations inspector. The company (phi) suspended and required both pilots to undergo remedial training in the SK-76 aircraft.
