Safety history

June 16, 1998Accident
The improper shimmying of the tail rotor driveshaft by maintenance personnel which induced fatigue in the tail rotor driveshaft coupling causing it to fail, which resulted in a loss of tail rotor control. A factor is the failure of the pilot to recognize the warning vibrations indicating impending failure of the coupling.
Hughes 369HS
March 11, 1997Accident
A loss of engine power due to a deteriorated compressor air seal, which resulted from inadequate maintenance inspection of the helicopter to detect corrosion in the compressor case while being operated in a marine environment.
