The event took place on the afternoon of March 30 in the field near Dobřichovice. After the stopover and another takeoff, they remained on the left side of the passenger, a badly closed door, which opened slightly during the flight. The critical situation occurred about 50 seconds below takeoff at an altitude of about 100 meters. The pilot tried to close. He released the steering lever and leaned over the passenger to reach the doorknob. However, the lever spontaneously, but possibly also under the pressure of the passenger’s foot, to the lower position, which significantly shifted the engine power and the helicopter went from ascent to descent in autorotation mode.
The movement of the pilot’s body forward the temperature of the center of gravity, at the same time, was reported the cyclic control lever is inadvertently pushed forward. These facts negatively affected the operation of the main rotor, which lost traction. The helicopter tilted its bow to the ground and in a steep descent with occasional traffic around the longitudinal axis. The pilot apparently lowered suddenly, but was no longer able to hit the ground.

According to investigators, he had little experience flying on this type of machine and did not update the records after refueling. The helicopter was also reported to be overloaded, but the propulsion unit was operating normally and all controls were operational. All damage occurred after hitting the ground.
