Accident & incident history

1997-09-22 Accident · Patterson, LA Damage: Substantial Serious injury NTSB · FTW97LA356
Reported aircraft: Sikorsky S-76A — a different aircraft that carried the N517AL registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: failure of the copilot to maintain a positive rate of climb after takeoff, which led to an inadvertent descent and collision with a crop of sugar cane and the ground. Factors relating to the accident were: darkness, fog, and the pilot-in-command's inadequate monitoring of the copilot, when he diverted his attention to adjusting the instrument lights.
