The pilot and his passenger took off from the airfield at Lognes, destination airfield Meaux to undertake practice auto-rotation. Following its integration to use the threshold of runway 16 right, the pilot began the exercises. He made three straight complete autos, all too short, the first of which requires a go-around. The pilot then decided to undertake a fourth auto-rotation from close downwind at a height of seven hundred feet. The pilot said he could not reach the endpoint.
While the number of rotor revolutions is in the "green zone", it draws on the collective to benefit from increased lift. This action causes a decrease in the number of rotor revolutions. The pilot decided to continue the auto-rotation. After the flare, the helicopter touched down on the threshold of runway 16 right and bounced a few inches. The aircraft, gliding, rotated 90 degrees and stopped. The rotor has lost its inertia, a pale faces and cut the tail boom at the height of rotating beacon.
The flight manual states that to achieve auto-rotation, the approach must be stabilized at a height of five hundred feet.
(Presumably repaired, as photographed as flying at Clermont-Ferrand (LFLC/CFE) on 19/12/2011 - see below)
