Reported aircraft: Hughes 269C — a different aircraft that carried the N7492F registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: company maintenance personnel not complying with maintenance procedures and directives to inspect the helicopter's skids, which allowed the right skid to wear beyond the manufacturer's tolerances.
