Safety record

Accident & incident history

2023-07-01 Accident · Macclenny, FL Damage: Substantial Minor injury NTSB · ERA23LA284
Reported aircraft: Schweizer 269C
Probable cause: The improper maintenance of the landing gear dampers and main rotor elastomeric dampers, resulting in ground resonance during an unsuccessful takeoff attempt with the helicopter near its maximum gross weight for the density altitude.
1994-12-31 Accident · Gardnerville, NV Damage: Destroyed Fatal injury NTSB · LAX95LA067
Reported aircraft: Harris BD-10 — a different aircraft that carried the N9WZ registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: the in-flight overload failure of the left vertical stabilizer spars, at force levels substantially below the predicted ultimate failure loads, due to inadequate substantiation by the designer.
