SE-HSX

Information

This aircraft was originally imported to Sweden by Sterner Aero in 1988. It was incorporated in the new Heliflyg fleet as the company took off in the early-90s.

The helicopter was lost in a fatal accident in Härjedalen, where the main rotor mast snapped due to fatigue stress cracks in the middle part of the mast. The helicopter had just taken off from a rig truck with a full liming bucket, and fell from approx 10 meters height when the mast separated. The main rotor the hit a crew trailer, killing one flight mechanic. The pilot sustained minor injuries.
