Accident & incident history

2014-01-21 Accident · Pell City, AL Damage: Substantial Minor injury NTSB · ERA14LA099
Reported aircraft: Bell 47D1
Probable cause: The pilot s use of an improper clutch engagement procedure, which resulted in clutch glazing, slippage, and, ultimately, the in-flight disengagement of the clutch and a loss of rotor rpm. Contributing to the accident were the installation of a light-weight clutch assembly and a higher horsepower engine, both of which increased the tendency for clutch slippage, and inadequate inspection of the clutch assembly.
1992-01-27 Accident · Cross City, FL Damage: Substantial NTSB · MIA92LA069
Reported aircraft: Bell 47D1
Probable cause: PARTIAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER DUE TO UNDETERMINED REASONS AND UNSUITABLE TERRAIN ENCOUNTERED DURING THE AUTOROTATIVE LANDING.
1989-11-02 Accident · Loxahatchee, FL Damage: Substantial Serious injury NTSB · MIA90LA023
Reported aircraft: Bell 47D1
