The pilot was transporting a trapper and his gear to a mountain hut near Slaty Peak at an elevation of about 4750 feet. In the final stages of a shallow approach the pilot realised that main rotor rpm had decayed. Full throttle failed to restore rpm, and as the pilot considered he was committed to land, he increased collective but was unable to prevent a heavy touchdown. The helicopter pitched nose-down and fell on to its right side. No injuries.
Aircraft repaired and returned to service - subsequent history:
