Final NTSB investigations: Hiller UH-12E
4 cases on aircraft the registry lists as Hiller UH-12E, where the sequence of events included Sys/Comp malf/fail (non-power). Aircraft are matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model, so older matches can be wrong.
