A helicopter crashed on the afternoon of Thursday (25), in the rural municipality of Umburanas, in north-central Bahia. According to the Air Force, the Robinson R44 aircraft model, left the municipality of Bahia Sento Sé bound for Petrolina, in Pernambuco state.
The helicopter crashed in a forested area, which is near a river, 45 km from the urban perimeter. According to the agency, three people had minor injuries and were taken to the health center of the city. The three were later transported by another aircraft company to Petrolina.
3.2.2.1 Concerned with the operation of the aircraft
a) Application of commands - undetermined
It is possible that the pilot has reduced the speed of the helicopter to values below the translational support speed, causing the loss of support and height of the helicopter. It is also possible that when checking the proximity of the ground, the pilot commanded the collective upwards, in an attempt to interrupt the descending trajectory of the aircraft, which contributed to the worsening of the engine RPM drop.
