Safety record

Accident & incident history

2003-01-31 Accident · West Plains, MO Damage: Substantial NTSB · CHI03LA062
Reported aircraft: Bell 206L-1
Probable cause: The excessive descent rate that required an abrupt flare, resulting in the main rotor severing the tailboom.
1998-05-24 Accident · Springdale, AR Damage: Substantial Serious injury NTSB · FTW98FA239
Reported aircraft: Bell 206L-3
Probable cause: The failure of maintenance personnel to properly assemble the engine's accessory gearbox, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to partial blockage of the main oil passage by an o-ring. The blockage reduced oil flow to the turbine shafting, which led to the total failure of the gas producer turbine shaft and the power (free) turbine shaft. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
