Narrative:
During a flight from Tjörn to Säve with helicopter SE-HMC, engine problems occurred. The pilot decided to land. During descent the engine stopped, and he performed an autorotation from about 300 feet. After touchdown, the main rotor blades struck the tail rotor drive shaft and tail boom, severing both, about 2 km southeast of Lycke Church.
