Narrative:
On return to the airfield, following a trial lesson, the helicopter landed heavily and bounced, causing damage to the landing skid tubes and distortion of the cabin structure.

The most likely explanation for this accident was the low energy state of the helicopter on final approach. Precisely how and why this situation arose could not be determined from the evidence available to the AAIB.
