R22 Crash at Cape Town

An instructor and his pupil narrowly escaped serious injury yesterday when they crashed their R22 light helicopter whilst on a training flight east of the Cape Town Airport. The instructor was apparently demonstrating sideways flight and the danger of dynamic rollover, when the accident occurred.

Apparently the helicopter was operated and flown by Base 4 helicopters, and the CAA is investigating.
