Safety record

Accident & incident history

2001-09-30 Accident · Hilo, HI Damage: Destroyed Minor injury NTSB · LAX01FA306
Reported aircraft: Bell 206B
Probable cause: The failure of the mechanic to secure the No. 8 bearing thrust nut during maintenance work, which resulted in the total failure of the first stage turbine wheel shaft. Also causal was his misjudgment of his height during the flare resulting in a hard landing. A contributing factor was the high vegetation in the forced landing field, which resulted in a hard landing.
