Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The plt stated he felt the eng RPM decrease, so he opened up the throttle and lowered the collective. When these actionsdid not produce the desired RPM he tried to land in a plowed fld, the skids dug in the soft dirt and caused the helicopter to roll over. Examination of the eng disclosed no evidence of a pre-impact malfunction of failure. However, the rotor system was not checked. No determination was made as to the reason for the loss of RPM.
