The chopper went down about 10 kilometers (six miles) south of Phnom Penh. It crashed into a pond surrounded by rural land and rice fields, and had sunk into the mud, Tum Polin said.
Chhay Bunna, chief of police at the nearby international airport, said new air force pilots were undergoing training at the time.
