A Robinson R66 contacted power lines and fell 9 m down into the shallow water of a river.
The cause of the accident with the R-66 RA-06347 helicopter was the collision of the aircraft with power lines during controlled flight at an extremely low altitude (5–6 m) above the water surface.
The most likely contributing factors to the AP were:
- descent below an altitude of 150 m, determined by the flight mission;
- insufficient caution on the part of the PIC when performing a VFR flight;
- the PIC's failure to take into account the presence of artificial obstacles in the flight area;
- lack of marking of power transmission line wires.
