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 rotorcraft was enroute from CA92 to smo. The pilot reported that the engine lost power while over Stallion springs. The pilot perfromed an emergency landing/auto-rotation in a horse pasture. The hard landing caused the right landing skid to fracture in half, damage to the nose, and the main rotor blade to contact the tail boom. The helicopter had fuel in the tanks and oil in the engine.
