What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: on February 14, 1995, a Sikorsky S76A helicopter, experienced a binding in the anti-torque pedals. The pedals subsequently went full left deflection. The aircraft was flown to Patterson, Louisiana, where a successful precautionary landing was accomplished. The flight originated at green canyon, block 18, in the Gulf Of Mexico, at 11:00 a.m., on February 14, 1995. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the incident and company flight following procedures were in effect. The aircraft was not damaged. The two pilots and three passengers were not injured. A preliminary investigation suggests that the teflon coating on the stainless steel anti-torque control shaft had disbanded in a small area. The investigation is continuing.
