The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On may 8, 2019, about 1530 hawaii-aleutian time, an Airbus helicopter AS-350-B2, N964SA, operated by safari aviation inc. (xsfa), struck the airport barrier perimeter fence while landing at the hangar area. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time.
The helicopter had been on a maintenance check flight for the replacement of the main rotor shaft and main gear box chip light event, as the pilot approached the landing area next to the hangar, he crossed the airport perimeter fence lower than normal and impacted the upper top strand of the barbwire fence with the tail stinger and tail rotor blade.
No loss of control was experienced but the landing was harder than normal.
The tail rotor blades sustained damage to the strike tabs.
