The helicopter had taken off in Assen, Netherlands and was on a ferry flight to Ingolstadt with a planned refueling stop at Kassel-Calden (EDVK). Minutes before reaching Kassel-Calden, the helicopter experienced a loss of engine power. The pilot managed to land the helicopter in a field near Hofgeismar. During the landing the helicopter's tail was cut off (apparently struck by the main rotor). The pilot was not injured.
The accident was caused by engine bearing damage, which resulted in power loss, in combination with an emergency landing with forward speed at a field with high vegetation. The cause for the bearing damage could not be determined.
