Narrative:The rotor blades contacted a electricity pole shortly before landing. On contract to oil and gas company Ecopetrol.
Probable cause
Hitting the main rotor blades against a concrete pole while the crew was trying to park the helicopter on the platform.
Contributing Factors
Low crew perception to identify obstacles on the platform caused by aspects such as the overcast sky, the crew's viewing angle and the low contrast of the blades with the color of the pole.
Inadequate planning by not assigning a crew member to identify obstacles on the ground and give appropriate signals.
The airfield platform has no edge markings and no taxiing lines and there are poles in close proximity to it.
