Title: , A SCHWEIZER 269C-1, N6147Q, REGISTERED TO CARIBBEAN HELICOPTER
Report Date: 09/17
Plane Crash Problem: On September 11, 2003, about 1445 eastern daylight time, a Schweizer 269C-1, N6147Q, registered to Caribbean Helicopter Leasing, Inc., operated by Helicenter International Academy, was substantially damaged during a run-on landing at the Homestead General Aviation Airport, Homestead, Florida. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed for the 14 CFR Part 91 instructional flight. The certified flight instructor (CFI) and student sustained minor injuries. The flight originated about 15 minutes earlier from the Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport, Miami, Florida.
The CFI stated that after departure the flight proceeded to the Homestead General Airport where he advised the student that the lesson would continue with "running landing" and "running take off" training from the previous day. The flight continued in the traffic pattern for runway 36, and when on short final approach to the runway at 5 feet above ground level, the helicopter was at 25 knots indicated airspeed. The helicopter contacted the runway with the skids parallel to the runway centerline, and the CFI allowed the helicopter to continue sliding. The CFI advised the student that the lesson would conclude with a "running takeoff", and upon lifting off the runway at an indicated airspeed of 35 knots, he noticed a vibration from the main rotor system. He noticed the rpm was decreasing and touched down again on the runway, at which time the helicopter began to "shake violently." He lowered the collective but felt a force when he attempted to reduce throttle input. He was contacted in the head, and lost consciousness; he regained consciousness when he was in the hospital.
