as far as mid air collisions go, this one went reasonably well.

was the 212 working?

It was out of Villeneuve. I heard about this from one of the guys at Avialta.

Bravo to the pilot.

Congratulations....I believe you have done an incredible job saving yourself and the machine. 

Well done pilot.

Well done indeed. A landing you can walk away from is an excellent landing. A landing you can walk away from and the machine can fly again is just as excellent. Bravo!

Occurrence Summary:  

A mid-air collision occurred between a L R Helicopters Inc. Bell 212, C-FTLR, and a Namao Flying

Club Cessna 172, C-GJJL. C-FTLR was en route from Fort McMurray, AB, to Rocky Mountain

House, AB, at an altitude of 3500 feet ASL and on an approximate course of 200°M; only the pilot

was on board. C-GJJL was conducting a proficiency training flight with one instructor and a

privately licensed pilot on board. They had completed their exercises and were returning to

Villeneuve Airport (CZVL), AB, and on a track of 145°M level at 3500 feet ASL.

The collision occurred 13 NM northwest of CZVL. The pilot of C-FTLR set down in a farm field

shortly after the collision. C-GJJL continued on to CZVL and landed with no issue. The outer

portion of the leading edge of the right wing of C-GJJL had contacted the right side of C-FTLR's tail

skid/stinger
 

so close to being so much worse. Very lucky.
