A Luxembourg Air Rescue (LAR) Airbus Helicopters H145 D-3 sustained substantial damage on May 23, 2025, following a hard landing near Nothum, in the northwest of Luxembourg. The incident occurred at the end of a mission responding to a traffic accident on the N27 road near Lac de la Haute-S\u00fbre.<\/p>\n
The helicopter, bearing registration LX-HLP and operating under the callsign Air Rescue 2, had been dispatched from Ettelbruck Hospital Helipad (ELET) to provide emergency medical assistance following a reported car accident between Nothum and Bavigne. The crash did not result in serious injuries, and no patient transport was required.<\/p>\n
However, during take-off at approximately 17:00 local time, the H145\u2019s rotor blades came into contact with nearby tree branches. The impact caused a rotor imbalance that led to severe vibrations and forced the crew to execute a hard landing shortly after.<\/p>\n
