On February 5, 2021, about 1400 mountain standard time, a Hughes OH-6A, N6639R, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Horseshoe Bend, Idaho. The pilot sustained serious injuries and passenger sustained minor injuries. The helicopter was operated as a public use flight.

The pilot reported that the purpose of the accident flight was to conduct wildlife damage management operations. While maneuvering at a low altitude over hilly terrain, the pilot noted a loss of rotor rpm. The pilot maneuvered the helicopter down a draw in an attempt to regain rotor rpm. Subsequently, the helicopter impacted sloped terrain, rolled over, and came to rest on its left side.

Photographs provided by local law enforcement revealed that fuselage and tail-boom were structurally damaged. The wreckage was recovered to a secure location for further examination.

Analysis 

The student pilot reported that he had departed with the intent to perform touch-and-go takeoffs and landings. After takeoff, he realized that the canopy was not latched. He struggled to maintain airplane control in the pattern, but he was able to land normally.

The student pilot then checked the latch handle, and he believed that he had secured the canopy correctly. He took off and flew one pattern but just before landing, the canopy opened and obstructed the pilot's view of the runway.

The airplane landed hard and bounced, and the pilot aborted the landing.

The student pilot flew a third pattern and made an approach over the runway centerline, "slightly above stall airspeed." The airplane landed hard on the runway, and the right main landing gear (MLG) and the nose landing gear separated from the airplane. The airplane skidded to a stop on the runway.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right MLG attachment points and the right-wing spar.

The student pilot asserted that the canopy latch was down during the takeoffs but was not seated correctly. For the latch to seat correctly, "the canopy itself needed to be pushed up so that gravity seated the canopy."

The airplane was equipped with a full-width clear canopy, hinged in the front and tipped forward for entry to the cockpit.

The manually operated canopy was supposed to be closed by the pilot by reaching above their head and grabbing the handle identified by the manufacturer's illustrated parts catalogue as SF0730N. Per the photographs provided by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) aviation safety inspectors, the handle was not installed on the canopy.

The canopy security latches consisted of two metal claw-type latches that were mechanically moved forward to secure the canopy to the fuselage. The canopy latches were moved forward to the secure position when the pilot lowered the canopy "T" handle. The "T" handle was affixed to the baggage compartment front wall in the cockpit between the left and right seats just above the arm rest and just below the pilot headset audio input jacks.

The student pilot's head set control unit was about 4 inches long by 1 inch in diameter. Photographs taken shortly after the accident and provided by FAA inspectors revealed that the control unit was lodged underneath the "T" handle.

The student pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

Probable Cause and Findings

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
The physical interference of the student pilot's headset control unit with the canopy, which prevented the canopy latches from seating properly and resulted in the canopy opening in flight and the subsequent hard landing.

ST. JOHN, Washington- On Friday, at approximately 10:25am, the Whitman County Sheriff's office received a report of an aircraft that had made an emergency landing on Lancaster Road, near Kackman Road outside of St John, after experiencing engine trouble.

Deputies responded to the scene and made contact with the pilot of the aircraft, 58-year-old Steven Krauss, from Florida.  Krauss told investigators he left Felts Fields airport out of Spokane at 9:00 a.m., and as he was flying his 1977 Piper Arrow at 6000 feet - the aircraft began experiencing engine problems. Krause was able to successfully land the aircraft in the middle of Lancaster Road without damaging the aircraft.

Local residents assisted Krauss and towed the aircraft off the road to a secured location. The FAA was contacted and advised of the incident and will conduct their own investigation.

Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal 

On August 19, 2019, about 1130 Pacific daylight time, a Piper PA-28R-20 airplane, N43793, was substantially damaged during a runway excursion at the Felts Field Airport (SFF), Spokane, Washington. The private pilot was not injured. The airplane was registered to the pilot who was operating it as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. Day visual meteorological conditions prevailed and an instrument flight rules flight plan was filed for the cross country flight which departed the Anacortes Airport (74S), Anacortes, Washington, at 0900.

The pilot reported that the approach was normal and he did not experience a hard landing when the airplane made contact with the runway. About halfway down the runway during the rollout, the pilot heard a loud bang and the airplane veered to the right. After exiting to the right side of the runway, the left main landing gear collapsed and the left wing contacted the runway safety area. The airplane came to rest a few feet from the runway surface with the nose landing gear listed to the right side.

A post-accident examination of the wreckage revealed buckling of the left upper wing surface and wing root area. The nose landing gear steering linkage control was damaged. The airplane was relocated to a secure facility for further examination.
