Safety record

Accident & incident history

1999-01-30 Accident · Lake Elsinore, CA Damage: Destroyed Serious injury NTSB · LAX99GA083
Reported aircraft: McDonnell Douglas 369E — a different aircraft that carried the N992SD registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot's failure to maintain main rotor rpm and her misjudged flare. Also causal was the failure of the company maintenance personnel to follow the procedures/directives in the engine manufacturer's operation and maintenance manual and their improper inspection of the engine. A factor was the oil starvation of the nos. 6, 7, and 8 bearings that resulted in a total loss of engine power.
