Very shortly after take-off on an international flight, the pilot lost control of the helicopter and attempted a forced landing in a nearby field, which resulted in substantial damage to the helicopter. No injuries were reported to the Investigation. The pilot was not injured.
The Pilot held a ‘Medical Certificate Second Class and Student Pilot Certificate’ issued by the FAA (FAA Form 8420-2). The IAA informed the Investigation that as per Article 5 (10) of SI 333 of 2000, a Student Pilot licence issued by a foreign state is not valid in the Republic of Ireland. The UK CAA also confirmed it was not valid in the UK (the intended destination).
