The Cougar Helicopters Inc. Sikorsky S-92 helicopter (registration C-GDKN) was being operated for post maintenance engine runs following routine engine washes. The collective control was not lowered during the start sequence and subsequently the rotorcraft unintentionally became airborne a few feet and drifted to the right as the rotor speed increased. The rotorcraft sustained damage to the right main landing gear when it landed hard following the brief airborne event. The operator is conducting a safety investigation into the occurrence.
