Probable cause
the student's misjudged landing flare and his failure to verify the validity of the low rotor warning. Factors in the accident were the company management's continued use of the helicopter in flight training operations with a known discrepancy in the main rotor warning system, and the soft nature of the soil at the autorotation landing area.
