Robinson R44 Raven II, G-TIMC

Summary:

During takeoff the helicopter developed a nose-up and right-skid-low attitude. The pilot compensated with the cyclic control and lowered the collective lever. The helicopter touched down, bounced, and came to rest at 90° to its original starting position. The pilot checked the controls but no problems were evident. The landing site, which was unlicensed, was constructed of concrete 바카라 사이트˜waffle-type바카라 사이트™ paving stones. The pilot believed that the rear shoe of the right skid had become snagged in the grooves in the surface of the landing site.
