On the day of the accident, a student pilot attending training for the PPL(H) was preparing for a solo flight. It was to be his 8th solo flight in total and the 6th solo flight on that day.
The student correctly started up the engine under supervision of an instructor, then, via radio he received permission to take off, and then the helicopter lifted off the ground.
At a height of about 50 cm from the ground, the helicopter began to rotate around its vertical axis. The instructor passed via radio corrective actions, but the student did not react.
