From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.
What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During helicopter slope operations with a student pilot, the instructor pilot acting as pilot in command came on the controls to avoid what he perceived was a dynamic rollover situation.
The helicopter's bottom vertical fin then contacted the ground.
Damage was limited to the vertical fin of the helicopter that was transported via trailer for repairs.
