Accident Number: WPR19LA087 Date & Time: 02/21/2019, 0659 HST Registration: N506PH Aircraft: MD HELICOPTER 369 Injuries: 1 Serious Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Positioning On February 21, 2019, about 0659 Hawaii-Aleutian standard time, a McDonnel Douglas, MD 369E helicopter, N506PH, impacted terrain during a forced-landing about 1 mile south-east of Kukuihaele, Hawaii. The commercial pilot was seriously injured. The helicopter sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and tail boom. The helicopter was registered to K&S Helicopters and operated by Paradise Helicopters under the provision of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a positioning flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed in the area about the time of the accident and no flight plan was filed. The flight originated from Hilo International Airport, Hilo, Hawaii about 0600. The pilot reported that he was maneuvering to land at an off-airport pick up site. He started the approach to land and while in a descending turn to the right, he observed, out of the corner of his eye, a yellow flash, followed by a red flash. The pilot then looked inside the helicopter and saw the engine out light illuminate and heard an alarm activate. He noticed the exhaust gas temperature at about 909° C and the engine torque gauge indicated 0%. He established an autorotational descent and found a suitable landing area. During touchdown, the tail rotor assembly and left skid assembly broke away followed by the helicopter rolling to the left. The helicopter came to rest on its left side with the engine still running. The pilot shutdown the engine and exited through the front wind screen area with the help of witnesses. Two witness's reported hearing a bang followed by observing the helicopter descend to the ground. The helicopter was recovered to a secure location for further examination.

HONOKAA — A 39-year-old man was transported to North Hawaii Community Hospital in serious condition following a tour helicopter crash at around 7 a.m. today near Kukuihaele, according to the Hawaii Fire Department The crash occurred on private land accessible through Waipio on Horseback Ranch, near the 7.5-mile marker of Honokaa-Waipio Road (Highway 240) near the Waipio lookout. The crash site wasn’t visible from the highway and the Tribune-Herald wasn’t allowed to visit the crash site. The Fire Department said the crash was on open land about 200 yards mauka of the highway. The department said the crash was a result of engine failure. No passengers were on board when what the helicopter’s owners, K&S Helicopters, dba Paradise Helicopters, described in a statement as a “hard landing … while arriving for a utility flight” occurred. The pilot self-extricated and was able to walk away from the rotorcraft. K&S said he was hospitalized “for further evaluation as a precautionary measure.” “The care of our pilot is our highest priority right now,” said Calvin Dorn, K&S CEO. Dorn didn’t identify the pilot. K&S said it “is cooperating with authorities involved” and Hawaii Police Department Capt. Albert Jason Cortez said the Federal Aviation Administration “has been contacted regarding this.” “We classify this as a public accident,” Cortez said. Police said the helicopter ended up on its side. Asked about damage to the aircraft, Cortez replied, “There was some damage but not as much as you’d expect considering there was a crash.” According to the FAA aircraft registry, the helicopter is a McDonnell Douglas 369E manufactured in 1989 with an Allison 250-C20 turboshaft engine. Its airworthiness certificate was issued Aug. 22, 2011, with an expiration date of Aug. 31, 2020. Original article ➤ https://www.hawaiitribune-herald.com

The instructor assisted by applying rudder input, which corrected the veer, but then the airplane abruptly veered left. The instructor assumed control of the airplane, pulled the power, and applied brakes and rudder. The airplane exited the runway to the left into grass, and the nose landing gear collapsed. The student reported that he recalled the instructor telling him about the airplane's left turning tendencies and having to correct with the opposite (right) rudder. He added that he may have corrected with the wrong rudder during the takeoff. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the engine mount and fuselage. The flight instructor reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The airport's automated weather observation station reported that, about 10 minutes before the accident, the wind was from 290° at 7 knots. The airplane was departing from runway 31. The Federal Aviation Administration's Airplane Flying Handbook, FAA-H-8083-3B, "Normal Takeoff," stated, in part: As the airplane gains speed, the elevator control tends to assume a neutral position if the airplane is correctly trimmed. At the same time, the rudder pedals are used to keep the nose of the airplane pointed down the runway and parallel to the centerline. The effects of engine torque and P-factor at the initial speeds tend to pull the nose to the left (Torque and P-Factor will be discussed in greater detail in later chapter). The pilot must use whatever rudder pressure is needed to correct for these effects or winds. Probable Cause and Findings The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: The student pilot's improper rudder input and the flight instructor's delayed remedial action during takeoff, which resulted in a loss of directional control, a runway excursion, and the landing gear collapsing. Findings Aircraft Directional control - Not attained/maintained (Cause) Personnel issues Use of equip/system - Instructor/check pilot (Cause) Use of equip/system - Student pilot (Cause) Delayed action - Instructor/check pilot (Cause) Factual Information History of Flight Takeoff Loss of control on ground (Defining event) Runway excursion Landing gear collapse

Location: Prescott, AZ Accident Number: GAA18CA312 Date & Time: 05/29/2018, 2115 MST Registration: N148ME Aircraft: PIPER PA 46 Aircraft Damage: Substantial Defining Event: Fuel exhaustion Injuries: 3 None Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal Analysis According to the pilot, about 15 minutes before reaching the destination airport during descent, the engine lost power. The pilot switched fuel tanks, and the engine power was momentarily restored, but the engine stopped producing power even though he thought it "was still running all the way to impact." The pilot conducted a forced landed on a highway at night, and the right wing struck an object and separated from the airplane. The airplane came to rest inverted. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) aviation safety inspector (ASI) that performed the postaccident airplane examination, the fuel lines to the fuel manifold were dry, and the fuel manifold valves were dry. He reported that the fuel strainer, the diaphragm, and the fuel filter in the duel manifold were unremarkable. Fuel was found in the gascolator. The FAA ASI reported that, during his interview with the pilot, "the pilot changed his story from fuel exhaustion, to fuel contamination." The inspector reported that there were no signs of fuel contamination during the examination of the fuel system. According to the fixed-base operator (FBO) at the departure airport, the pilot requested 20 gallons of fuel. He then canceled his fuel request and walked out of the FBO. Probable Cause and Findings The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: The pilot's improper fuel planning, which resulted in fuel exhaustion and the subsequent total loss of engine power.
