Just reproduced this at an other airport with the same aircraft :

Unable to reproduce by going to the same airport, same parking spot with the same aircraft in Free Flight - this appears to be specific to Search And Rescue missions.

Unable to reproduce with an other aircraft, this seems to be specific to the H125.

Just had a very similar case : “you damaged a critical component” then crash and mission failure while safely on ground, unmoving, after landing, without any damage or harsh landing, airplane revised and in good state, in medium cargo mission (airplane). Unknown if related..

Unable to reproduce since SU5, this seems to have been silently fixed.

Moved to User Support Hub since a solution has been marked.
