Summary
The aircraft departed a private site with the intention of flying a local experience flight. As the helicopter returned to land at the departure point, it made a left turn away from the landing site and began a shallow climb. It began to yaw to the left, initially with a normal attitude before the nose dropped. The helicopter continued to yaw to the left, the nose dropped further and it rapidly descended into a tree. There was an intense post-crash fire. Both occupants were fatally injured. Due to the damage sustained and lack of available evidence, the investigation was not able to reach a definitive conclusion, but a number of possible causes have been identified.
