Read the full NTSB narrative
THE HELICOPTER ROLLED OVER DURING LIFT OFF WITH PILOT AND ONE PASSENGER AND A FULL LOAD OF FUEL. ON A PREVIOUS FLT WITH ONE PASSENGER AND 8 GALLONS OF FUEL THE PILOT HAD NOTICED THE LEFT SKID WAS ABOUT 8 INCHES LOWER THAN THE RIGHT DURING LIFT OFF. ON THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT THE LEFT SKID DID NOT BREAK GROUND CONTACT UNTIL THE RIGHT SKID WAS ABOUT 18 INCHESOFF THE GROUND. AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE ROLL OVER WITH CYCLIC WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THIS WAS THE PILOTS FIRST LIFT OFF IN THEB-2 WITH A PASSENGER AND A FULL LOAD (ABOUT 31 GALLONS) OF FUEL.
