A helicopter helicopter of the company Wucher Helicopter,
which has been used for transporting wooden goods,
crashed on Tuesday morning in Dalaas from about ten meters high.
The nearly 40-year-old pilot was not injured, the helicopter was destroyed, usury announced.

Reason for the crash, was the failure of the main rotor after it had touched the tail boom.

The pilot wanted to fill the 50-meter-long transport rope at a clearing in order to be able to refuel.

He had an abrupt tax correction,
Dieter Heidegger from Wucher Helicopter told APA demand.

This always means that the helicopter reacts differently, he said.
In this case, the main rotor touched the tail boom, then blocked and fell.

Why exactly this control correction came, will be analyzed internally exactly.

"At the moment, we are only happy that nothing has happened to our employee," Heidegger said. The volunteer fire department of Dalaas was on the scene with ten forces.

About 500,000 euro damage
