Accident & incident history

2006-11-07 Incident · Harrisburg, PA Damage: Minor NTSB · NYC07IA023
Reported aircraft: Eurocopter EC135T1
Probable cause: The pilot's inadequate preflight preparation, which resulted in the cyclic stick lock not being disengaged prior to lift-off, and his subsequent inability to control the helicopter. Contributing to the accident was the operator's inadequate procedures, the unmarked cyclic lock, and the excessive breakout force required.
