Narrative:The Bell 206L-3 helicopter was involved in an accident at LP43 on the Malaysia-Brunei border. The helicopter had just lifted off from LP43 with an underslung load when the aircraft started to roll and yaw to the left. The PIC tried to level the aircraft as best that he could before crashing into the trees and coming to a rest in an inverted position. Both pilots survived with only minor injuries.
CONCLUSION
Better coordination between the stakeholders of this underslung operation is sorely needed. The management of material placed in proximity of the LP needs to be drastically improved.
This accident is classified as an External Load Related Occurrence (EXTL)
