Read the full NTSB narrative

SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF, A PARTIAL POWER LOSS OCCURRED OVER A WOODED AREA AND THE PILOT INITIATED AN AUTOROTATIVE LANDING. DURING THE LANDING, THE MAIN ROTOR AND TAIL ROTOR BLADES HIT TREES, THEN THE RIGHT SKID SET DOWN ON A SMALL TREE AND THE HELICOPTER ROLLED OVER. AFTER THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST, THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AT IDLE RPM WITH ABOUT 1/2 THROTTLE. DURING AN EXAMINATION, DIRT AND SCALE PARTICLES OF RUST WERE FOUND IN THE MAIN FUEL STRAINER. THE FUEL STRAINER (FINGER SCREEN) IN THE FUEL INJECTOR WAS REMOVED AND WAS FOUND TO BE CLOGGED.
