Safety record

Accident & incident history

2018-05-25 Accident · Olympia, WA Damage: Substantial Serious injury NTSB · WPR18LA147
Reported aircraft: Bell UH 1H
Probable cause: A loss of tail rotor thrust due to the improper installation of the tail rotor assembly by maintenance personnel resulted in the pilot s inability to maintain control of the helicopter as he began transition into forward flight from a hover, which resulted in a hard landing. Contributing to the accident was the failure of company quality control personnel to identify the improper installation of the tail rotor assembly before certifying the helicopter for flight, and the pilot s inadequate preflight inspection.
1994-06-19 Accident · Fort Lupton, CO Damage: Destroyed Serious injury NTSB · FTW94LA202
Reported aircraft: Riley, Donald Rutan Varieze — a different aircraft that carried the N111DR registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: BLOCKAGE OF THE OIL SCAVENGE PUMP BY FOREIGN MATERIAL WHICH WAS INTRODUCED INTO THE ENGINE DURING MAINTENANCE. A FACTOR WAS THE LACK OF SUITABLE TERRAIN FOR THE FORCED LANDING.
