Reported aircraft: Hiller UH 12E — a different aircraft that carried the N131HA registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: A partial loss of engine power due to multiple overtemperature events and a hot start event, which resulted in thermally damaged internal components of the engine. Contributing to the accident was the lack of suitable terrain on which to perform the forced landing.
