Accident & incident history

2013-02-14 Accident · Danville, PA Damage: Substantial NTSB · ERA13LA134
Reported aircraft: Eurocopter MBB-BK 117 C-2
Probable cause: The pilot s decision to conduct a straight-in approach to the helipad, which resulted in the main rotor blade impacting a construction crane flag marker. Contributing to the accident was the erroneous information about the construction crane s operation time and the pilot s self-induced time pressure, which resulted from his awareness of the patient s medical situation during the flight.
