Accident & incident history

2016-11-12 Accident · Stone Lake, WI Damage: Substantial Minor injury NTSB · GAA17CA070
Reported aircraft: Robinson R44 — a different aircraft that carried the N744JS registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot s failure to maintain lateral control while in a hover and the helicopter s subsequent impact with a tree.
2012-06-10 Accident · Santa Teresa, NM Damage: Substantial NTSB · CEN12LA359
Reported aircraft: Robinson R44 II — a different aircraft that carried the N744JS registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The sudden decrease in headwind during takeoff in a gusty wind and near a passing train, which resulted in a loss of lift and main rotor rpm. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's decision to operate the helicopter near its maximum performance capability (near gross weight at high density altitude), which resulted in a lack of reserve power available to compensate for the wind change.
