## Information bulletins (advisory)

None matched.

## NTSB investigations (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 ANC18LA020](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC18LA020), Jan 26, 2018: Eurocopter France SA330J Puma (N339EV), Pacific Ocean, Japan, substantial damage. Probable cause: The worn rear bearing of the freewheel unit. Contributing to the accident was the delay in analyzing an oil sample, which would have detected the increase in metal contaminants from the worn bearing.

## FAA accident and incident reports

None matched to N339EV.

## Service difficulty reports (2)
