## Discrepancy

PILOT REPOSITIONED THE AIRCRAFT FROM THE AIRFIELD TO A HELIPAD AT CUSTOMER'S LOCATION.  DURING TAKEOFF TO A HOVER AT THAT LOCATION, PILOT HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE AND THE AIRCRAFT LOST SOME POWER.  PILOT SUSPECTED COMPRESSOR STALL, SHUTDOWN.   MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AIRCRAFT AND FOUND A FROG HAD BEEN INGESTED BY THE ENGINE.  NO DAMAGE WAS NOTED.   COMPLIED WITH A COMPRESSOR RINSE AND RELEASE AIRCRAFT.
