Falcon Aviation Services Crash in U.A.E.

Yesterday a Falcon Aviation Services Agusta 109 Grand rolled over in the UAE. Fortunately there were no serious injuries! The aircraft had just been delivered from the factory two weeks before. It occurred when it was being operated at Jebel Dhana, where for some reason the pilot chose not to use the existing helipad, but instead was operating out of a sandy area and experienced a brown out. The pilot was said to be the 'highly experienced Chief Pilot at Falcon' (CF?).
