Accident & incident history

2003-07-24 Accident · Snohomish, WA Damage: Substantial NTSB · SEA03LA151
Reported aircraft: Hughes 269C — a different aircraft that carried the N53KF registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The dual students failure to maintain clearance from the terrain during the go-around from a simulated autorotational flare, and the instructor pilot's failure to take adequate remedial action to keep the dual student from allowing the aircraft to impact the terrain.
