Narrative:
C-FEZA, a Robinson R22 was en-route to Villeneuve from City Centre Airport for a training exercise when the pilot called on advisory frequency 118.8 to an overflying Cessna 172 to advise ATC that the aircraft had crashed in the vicinity of Big Lake, 10 nautical miles West of City Centre Airport, Edmonton, Alberta

The instructor and student were practicing power-on forced landings in the R22 helicopter. The student, at the controls, made a steep approach and tried to arrest it with a high power setting. As the helicopter started to rotate to the right, the instructor took control. The low rotor RPM warning sounded as the instructor attempted to arrest the rotation and descent.

Rotation continued slowly for a further 270 degrees and the helicopter settled hard, collapsing the landing gear. The helicopter bounced once before coming to rest on its left side. There were no injuries. Presumably later deemed to be written off, as the registration C-FEZA was cancelled on 16-10-2007, and later re-allocated to a Robinson R44 (the former N3063H). The wreckage of R22B C-FEZA was dumped at Villeneuve Airport, Edmonton by 24-07-2008 (see link#5)
