Read the full NTSB narrative
DURING A PRACTICE HOVER, THE PILOT LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND THE HELICOPTER PITCHED UP AT AN ANGLE OF ABOUT 20-25 DEGREES CAUSING THE TAIL ROTOR TO CONTACT THE SNOW. THE AIRCRAFT WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED, BUT THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CFI STATED THAT SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN HOVERING AT A HIGHER ALTITUDE OVER SOMETHING WHICH DEPTH PERCEPTION WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN EASILY CONFUSED.
