| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
During flight back towards an area with assumed better visual weather conditions, the pilot was probably exposed to spatial disorientation, which caused the pilot to unknowingly lower the helicopter's nose and thereby the helicopter's direction of flight.
The helicopter hit the sea surface at forward speed at a downward flight angle of approx. 45 degrees.
The accident occurred in daylight and under marginal visual weather conditions (VMC).
