From the FAA registry file of October 24, 2026. ADs below are matched by the registry's airframe and engine model codes. They may apply; each AD's applicability can narrow it by serial number, part number or installed equipment. This is not a compliance determination. The registry lists only the engine series, so ADs for every GE CT7 model are included.

## Information bulletins (advisory) (1 in force)

- [SAIB ANE-98-31](https://openairdocs.org/saib/ANE-98-31): . Issued May 15, 1998

## NTSB investigations

None matched to N189EH.

## NTSB investigations on N189EH not matched to an aircraft (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB SEA01LA061](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA01LA061), Mar 11, 2001: Eurocopter AS-350 B2 Ecureuil (N189EH), Mazama, WA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control. Snow covered terrain, high and variable wind conditions, and failure of attaining the proper touchdown point were factors.

## FAA accident and incident reports

None matched to N189EH.

## Reports on N189EH not matched to an aircraft (1)

They name N189EH, but no registry record covers the date, the aircraft registered then was built later, or the report describes another aircraft.

- [Accident 20010311005609A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/20010311005609A), Mar 11, 2001: Snias AS350B2 (N189EH), Mazama, WA, No damage. (-23) Pilot attempted landing at heli-ski landing site on mountain face, at approx. 8,300 feet above mean sea level. During landing attempt pilot encountered…

## Service difficulty reports

None filed for this aircraft. Matched to this aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model.

## STCs that may be installed (OpenAirDocs) (1)

Approved for this aircraft's airframe or engine model, in force first, then newest. The registry doesn't record which STCs an aircraft has; its records do.

### Approved for the airframe (Agustawestland AW189)

- [STC SR00228IB](https://openairdocs.org/stc/SR00228IB): Installation of Actuator Assembly Replacement Kit P/N 318783a for Floats Inflation System. AERO SEKUR S.P.A

## Earlier aircraft with N189EH

The FAA can reassign an N-number once a registration is cancelled. These aircraft carried N189EH before.

- [Cancelled 1991-10-15](https://openairdocs.org/deregistered/N189EH-1991-10-15): Aerospatiale AS332L, S/N 2069. Exported to Canada. Owner: [Era Aviation Inc](https://openairdocs.org/faa-owner/ERA%20AVIATION%20INC), [Anchorage, AK](https://openairdocs.org/faa-place/AK/Anchorage)
