Crashed in a field on autorotative landing in snowy conditions after fuel shortage. Destroyed by fire.
CAUSE
It is presumed that the cause of this accident was the pilot's improper flare control during an autorotation forced landing, which was made difficult by the extensive snow cover making altitude judgment challenging.
Furthermore, it is recognized that the forced landing itself was necessitated by the pilot's improper judgment regarding the remaining fuel quantity.
