Narrative:

While on a tour on the island of kauai, I was plting an astar helicopter and experienced my pedals sticking. I returned to lihue airport and requested a runway for a run-on landing. I made 2 gars to get the wind at the right angle, then I landed without incident or any damage to aircraft or 6 passenger. Our chief pilot said he would have mechanics fill out malfunction report and send to FAA and that he would contact our poi and report incident. I was unaware that I may have needed to contact the NTSB, as stated in NTSB 830 section 830.5. I thought that the malfunction report to FAA nd chief pilots contact and report to the FAA was sufficient.
