A Schweizer 300CBi helicopter crashed on a training flight at Ardmore Airport (NZAR).
The helicopter is reported to be severely damaged and may not fly again.
The 2 occupants are reported to have sustained light injuries.
During a test flight it was found that the engine RPM was unable to be adjusted.
After a period of time spent attempting to rectify the problem RPM began to
fluctuate dramatically, and the decision made to land immediately. The landing
was being aborted due to high speed, when engine RPM dropped suddenly, the
helicopter descended rapidly, striking the ground with the rear skid, and rolling
forward.
