## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23)WHILE ON SHORT FINAL FOR A LANDING AT THE ALBANY MEDICAL CENTER ROOFTOP HELIPAD, THE TAILROTOR OF N12SP, A BELL HELICOPTER BHT-222UT STRUCK THE MAIN ROTOR OF N951AM, AN MBB-BK-117-A4 HELICOPTER PARKED ON THE MARKED PARKING SPOT OF THE HELIPAD, CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE MAIN ROTOR OF N951AM AND SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE TAIL ROTOR OF N12SP. THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
