NW200 Private heli hits powerlines
https://news.causewaycoastcommunity....-power-cables/
Seems like another wire strike in a 44 in a short time. What’s going on up there? Though this time they saw fit to fly it home after..... wonder what the AAIB will make of that!

Homonculus,
Perhaps you should take another look at the report, unless my eyesight is mistaken the machine in the first picture looks remarkably like an R44......

I believe homonculus was referring to the second picture.
Looks like the rotors didn't take out the wires since they seem undamaged - perhaps they caught on the skids.
Doesn't anyone recce the LS nowadays?

Well that’s 2 R44 wire strikes at low level in 3 months within a small geographical area. Rumours of FAA PPL’s conducting quasi CAT flights won’t help if the CAA start looking.
