What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
While conducting a flight lesson with a new student, the instructor/pic was demonstrating maneuvers while hovering. While at the controls, the student made an error that caused the right skid to unexpectedly touch down. The momentum of the helicopter combined with the friction from the ground on the skid led to a dynamic rollover event.
