The helicopter performed a training flight on a microlight track located at the Aviation site area over the Guarapiranga Dam, near São Paulo. During an auto-rotation training, the pilot lost control of the aircraft, which crashed sharply with the ground, breaking its skis. Then the helicopter rose slightly, went forward and touched the ground again, toppling over to the left. The two crew members were unharmed, but the aircraft was seriously damaged.
