## Narrative

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

WHILE EN ROUTE TO TROY, TN FROM THE NASHVILLE, TN AREA, THE HELICOPTER ENCOUNTERED ELECTRICAL ISSUES APPROXIMATELY 6 TO 7 NAUTICAL MILES NORTHEAST OF THE DICKSON, TN AIRPORT (M02). THE PILOT INITIALLY REPORTED A TOTAL LOSS OF COMMUNICATIONS, FOLLOWED BY FAILURES OF THE RADAR ALTIMETER, PILOT FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD), MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAY (MFD), AND THE STABILITY AUGMENTATION SYSTEM (SAS), ALL DUE TO A LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER. THE HELICOPTER LANDED SAFELY AT THE M02 AIRPORT.

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.
