Robinson R44 helicopter – Wind Gust – Aircraft Rollover

2018-06-29
C-FWFZ, a privately operated Robinson R44 helicopter, was landing on a logging road approximately 39 nm North West of Prince George, BC (CYXS). Just prior to touchdown, a gust of wind pushed the helicopter sideways and the left skid contacted the ground, causing the helicopter to roll over. The helicopter sustained substantial damage, however the pilot suffered only minor injuries.
