- [NTSB FTW02LA019](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW02LA019.md): Bell 206L-3 · East Cameron 78 · Accident · Serious injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Oct 18, 2001 · N348AL · Substantial damage
  > The hard landing due to the pilot's failure to maintain proper main rotor rpm. Contributing factors were the loss of engine power for undetermined reasons, and the pilot's failure to deploy the emergency floats.
- [NTSB LAX01LA292](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX01LA292.md): Bell 206-L4 · Mesa, AZ · Accident · No injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Aug 28, 2001 · N995PM · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's improper autorotation in that he failed to attain the proper descent rate resulting in a hard landing and subsequent airframe damage. A factor was the high temperature.
- [NTSB FTW01LA195](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW01LA195.md): Bell 206L-3 · Cameron, LA · Accident · Serious injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Aug 24, 2001 · N350AL · Destroyed
  > fuel contamination due to the combination of DIEGME, water, and bacterial growth, which resulted in formation of an apple-jelly type material that blocked the fuel nozzle screen and led to a loss of engine power.
- [NTSB FTW01LA176](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW01LA176.md): Sikorsky SK-76A · New Iberia, LA · Accident · No injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Jul 10, 2001 · N164AG · Substantial damage
