Safety record

Accident & incident history

2015-10-24 Accident · Folsom, CA Damage: Substantial NTSB · WPR16LA019
Reported aircraft: American Eurocopter AS350B3
Probable cause: The flight instructor's failure to perform simulated engine failure training in accordance with manufacturer guidance, including his improper recovery from the maneuver, which resulted in an overshoot of the intended landing zone when the engine did not respond as expected; his selection of an unsuitable landing area; and his decision to perform the maneuver near the helicopter's maximum gross weight, which resulted in a hard landing.
