Two pilots were involved in an accident as their Hughes 369D helicopter crashed during an emergency training at the Sagadal Airfield on Saturday. The pilots were conducting a full-down autorotation landing when, apparently, one of the skids got stuck in the ground at the very end of the procedure and the aircraft turned over, damaging the helicopter. The two pilots onboard, one of them being a highly experienced flight instructor, did not sustain any injuries.
The accident took place at the Sagadal Airfield, which is situated south-east of the town Vilhelmina in northern Sweden. It is currently being examined by the Swedish Accident Investigation Board.
