Accident & incident history

2016-04-04 Accident · Pigeon Forge, TN Damage: Destroyed Fatal injury NTSB · ERA16FA144
Reported aircraft: Bell 206
Probable cause: An inflight loss of engine power due to a failure of the engine fuel pump, which resulted in a collision with trees and terrain during the subsequent autorotation. The failure of the engine fuel pump resulted from the absence of adequate grease leading to accelerated spline wear within the fuel pump.
