## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) THE OWNER AND NON-RATED PILOT WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN TO FINAL APPROACH AT CARSON CITY, NV AIRPORT AND IN THAT RIGHT TURN HE USED FULL RIGHT PEDAL AND ABOUT 35 TO 40 DEGREES OF BANK. THE HELICOPTER WAS OUT OF TRIM WITH AN AIRSPEED FROM 0 TO 10 KNOTS. AT THIS TIME THE HELICOPTER YAWED AND ROLLED RIGHT WITH A TWO TURN (AIRPLANE) SPIN-LIKE MANEUVER. THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR RECOVERED AND LANDED THE AIRCRAFT, WITH MINOR DAMAGE. A SAFETY RECOMMENDATION WILL BE MADE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
