Safety record

Accident & incident history

2023-12-24 Accident · El Centro, CA Damage: Substantial NTSB · WPR24LA067
Reported aircraft: Bell 206B
Probable cause: An in-flight failure of the engine-to-transmission driveshaft due to a fatigue fracture of the forward-most flex plate in the forward KAflex coupling that resulted from a loose bolt attachment between the flex plate and the forward driveshaft coupling. Contributing to the accident was maintenance personnel s failure to identify the condition and remove the KAflex driveshaft for repair as specified by the manufacturer.
1996-04-26 Accident · Logan, WV Damage: Substantial NTSB · IAD96LA067
Reported aircraft: Bell 206B
Probable cause: the pilot's failure to maintain an adequate fuel supply for the flight which resulted in a loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion, and the loss of rotor rpm during the autorotation. The downhill sloping terrain was a related factor.
