Accident & incident history

Reported aircraft: Eurocopter AS350 B2 — a different aircraft that carried the N196BH registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: the pilot's inadequate planning/decision by his VFR flight into IMC, and his failure to maintain obstacle clearance which resulted in an in-flight collision with a tree. A low ceiling and fog were contributing factors.
