## Narrative

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

ON JULY 30, 2010 AT APPROXIMATELY 12 NOON, A SCHWEIZER 269C HELICOPTER EXPERIENCED SEVERE VIBRATION DURING FLIGHT. TWO SOULS ONBOARD. THE PILOT PERFORMED A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING IN A FIELD APPROXIMATELY 4 MILES FROM CENTENNIEL AIRPORT. THERE WERE NO REPORTED INJURIES UPON LANDNG AND NO AIRCRAFT DAMAGE REPORTED.

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.
