Safety record

Accident & incident history

2006-05-28 Accident · Wailuku, HI Damage: Substantial Minor injury NTSB · LAX06CA184
Reported aircraft: Robinson R44 — a different aircraft that carried the N555JD registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: the pilot's inadequate compensation for the existing gusty wind conditions that resulted in his failure to maintain proper alignment with the landing area.
1997-10-13 Accident · Pacific Grove, CA Damage: Destroyed Fatal injury NTSB · LAX98FA008
Reported aircraft: Adrian Davis Long-Ez — a different aircraft that carried the N555JD registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: the pilot's diversion of attention from the operation of the airplane and his inadvertent application of right rudder that resulted in the loss of airplane control while attempting to manipulate the fuel selector handle. Also, the Board determined that the pilot's inadequate preflight planning and preparation, specifically his failure to refuel the airplane, was causal. The Board determined that the builder's decision to locate the unmarked fuel selector handle in a hard-to-access position, unmarked fuel quantity sight gauges, inadequate transition training by the pilot, and his lack of total experience in this type of airplane were factors in the accident.
