On August 11, 2004, at 10:05 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), a Robinson R22 Beta helicopter, Czech Republic registration OK-YIT, collided with terrain after a loss of control during an aerial photo flight, at Cerenice, approximately 3 miles south of Sazava, Czech Republic. L.P. S. Meinik was operating the helicopter under the civil aviation regulations of the Czech Republic. The pilot was not injured; the passenger sustained fatal injuries. The helicopter was destroyed. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed during the flight.
Conclusions
- The most likely cause of the accident was the helicopter pilot's improper reaction to turbulent environment in rugged terrain, together with incorrect procedures for handling the flight situation;
- However, it cannot be excluded with certainty that the accident was the result of deliberate inappropriate manoeuvres that exceeded the capabilities of the pilot or the helicopter.
