CALGARY — A flight instructor says two people walked away without injuries after a helicopter crashed at a Calgary-area airport.

Richard Alzetta says he was watching two people inside a helicopter practice rotations during a training exercise at the Springbank Airport when the craft hit the runway hard.

He says a big cloud of snow exploded into the air and the helicopter tipped over onto its side.

Mr. Alzetta says the two people inside were unharmed.

He says an investigation will likely be launched into the incident by Transport Canada.

It was an A-Star during Auto Rotations on 16. I personally didn't see it hit but heard he struck the tail rotor and went over. Two people on board both walked away.
