Leicester City crash helicopter rotor controls failed
6 December 2018
The helicopter which crashed killing Leicester City's chairman and four others spun out of control after a mechanism became disconnected, investigators said.
An Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) report found cockpit pedals had disconnected from the tail rotor.
This caused the AW169 aircraft to turn uncontrollably to the right before it crashed near the King Power Stadium.
The AAIB said its inquiries into the 27 October crash were ongoing.
