10km South of Hastings.
Ex-N4031V then JA7675; written off 29.5.98. On completion of a spray run along a ridgeline, the pilot made a left
turn to align the helicopter for a run at an angle to the original direction. Flying across the line of the run just completed, the helicopter rolled uncommanded to the right and struck the ground at about 30 knots, before the pilot's recovery action became effective. The pilot considered that he had run into the residual rotor vortex from the run just completed. No mechanical reason was found to explain the uncommanded roll to the right.
