What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On August 17 2016, the pilot of the helicopter, a Robinson R-66, stated he flew over the Indiantown Airport and came around to do a low approach to a hover on the grass runway. The pilot noticed he was descending faster than normal. He added more collective to slow the descent but noticed it was not slowing down enough. He made contact with the ground causing the skids to spread. There were no injuries to himself or any property damage. The helicopter sustained minor damage to both skids and damage to the tail boom section just aft of both antennas but forward of where the registration number is affixed to the aircraft.
