Category:Accident
Location:Nancy-Essey (ENC/LFSN) -   France
Phase: Landing
Nature:Training
Departure airport:Nancy-Essey (ENC/LFSN)

Investigating agency: BEA
Confidence Rating: Accident investigation report completed and information captured
Narrative:
The helicopter failed to flare during landing and rolled over on touchdown. The pilot was slightly injured.

CONCLUSION:
The collected data do not allow to determine the origin of the absence of the flare.
To achieve a precision pose, the most suitable approach is an approach with a gradual reduction of the speed and descent rate rather than a constant speed approach, after which the engine power required to achieve the flare will be more important, as well as the actions to be exerted on the controls.
