Safety record

Accident & incident history

2012-05-26 Accident · Chesterfield, MO Damage: Substantial NTSB · CEN12LA353
Reported aircraft: Schweizer 269C-1
Probable cause: The undercharged and overcharged landing gear dampers, which allowed initiation of the ground resonance event from which the pilot was unable to recover due to his limited experience in helicopters. Contributing to the accident was the ineffective damper inspection conducted by the operator s maintenance personnel and the improper overhaul procedure by the overhaul facility that resulted in overcharged dampers being provided to the operator. Also contributing was the lack of any final acceptance testing criteria for the dampers in the manufacturer s overhaul procedure manual.
