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.
The air tour operator was conducting for hire operations during the sun & fun fly-in. While conducting rapid refueling, the line service person (owner), allowed the fuel hose to come into contact with the main rotor blade (mrb), resulting in damage to the mrb. No reported injuries or fire. Damage was isolated to the mrb.
