Safety record

Accident & incident history

2017-07-24 Accident · Myrtle Beach, SC Damage: Substantial NTSB · ERA17LA257
Reported aircraft: Robinson R44
Probable cause: A loss of available power to the main rotor due to a fractured exhaust pushrod and housing, which allowed engine oil to coat the V-belts. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's decision to continue the tour and his failure to maintain adequate rotor rpm during the landing, which resulted in a hard landing.
