minor1995-06-09
Summary
A Heliservices SA315B Lama landed to refuel at a cramped yard about 7 km west-southwest of Sek Kong. Seconds after touchdown it began to vibrate violently and hop around the site, probably from ground resonance, and its rotors and tail struck a container before a skid became trapped under steel plates. The pilot suffered a minor injury. The site did not meet the size set out in the operations manual.
