Contributing to the accident were an organizational culture that prioritized mission execution over aviation safety and the pilot's fatigue, self-imposed pressure to conduct the flight, and situational stress. Also contributing to the accident were deficiencies in the NMSP aviation section's safety-related policies, including lack of a requirement for a risk assessment at any point during the mission; inadequate pilot staffing; lack of an effective fatigue management program for pilots; and inadequate procedures and equipment to ensure effective communication between airborne and ground personnel during search and rescue missions. ## Findings NTSB's coded findings; those marked are part of the probable cause. - [Info processing/decision: decision making/judgment](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/02041520): Personnel issues › Action/decision · Pilot (probable cause); cases with it: [Agusta A109E, 3 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/02041520/cases.md?model=0260101), [All aircraft, 3,098 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/02041520/cases.md) - [Ceiling/visibility/precip: clouds](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/03035025): Environmental issues › Conditions/weather/phenomena · Decision related to condition (probable cause); cases with it: [Agusta A109E, 2 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/03035025/cases.md?model=0260101), [All aircraft, 108 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/03035025/cases.md) - [Light condition: dark](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/03036020): Environmental issues › Conditions/weather/phenomena · Decision related to condition (probable cause); cases with it: [Agusta A109E, 2 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/03036020/cases.md?model=0260101), [All aircraft, 448 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/03036020/cases.md) - [Wind](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/03034000): Environmental issues › Conditions/weather/phenomena · Decision related to condition (probable cause); cases with it: [Agusta A109E, 1 case](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/03034000/cases.md?model=0260101), [All aircraft, 110 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/03034000/cases.md) - [Culture: safety](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/04024010): Organizational issues › Management · Operator (probable cause); cases with it: [Agusta A109E, 1 case](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/04024010/cases.md?model=0260101), [All aircraft, 11 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/04024010/cases.md) - [Alertness/Fatigue](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/02013500): Personnel issues › Physical · Pilot (probable cause); cases with it: [Agusta A109E, 1 case](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/02013500/cases.md?model=0260101), [All aircraft, 48 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/02013500/cases.md) - [Policy/procedure: adequacy of policy/proc](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/04021015): Organizational issues › Management · Operator (probable cause); cases with it: [Agusta A109E, 1 case](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/04021015/cases.md?model=0260101), [All aircraft, 106 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/04021015/cases.md) - [Pressures/demands](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/03042000): Environmental issues › Task environment · Effect on personnel (probable cause); cases with it: [Agusta A109E, 1 case](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/03042000/cases.md?model=0260101), [All aircraft, 7 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/03042000/cases.md) - [Equipment/furnishings: emergency locator beacon](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/01022562): Aircraft › Aircraft systems · Not specified; cases with it: [Agusta A109E, 1 case](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/01022562/cases.md?model=0260101), [All aircraft, 9 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/01022562/cases.md) - [Indicating/recording systems](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/01023100): Aircraft › Aircraft systems · Not specified; cases with it: [Agusta A109E, 1 case](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/01023100/cases.md?model=0260101), [All aircraft, 18 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings/01023100/cases.md) ## Sequence of events The events NTSB coded, in order, by phase of flight.

The Aircraft Accident Report number is NTSB/AAR-11/04. On June 9, 2009, about 2135 mountain daylight time, an Agusta S.p.A. A-109E helicopter, N606SP, impacted terrain following visual flight rules flight into instrument meteorological conditions near Santa Fe, New Mexico. The commercial pilot and one passenger were fatally injured; a highway patrol officer who was acting as a spotter during the accident flight was seriously injured. The entire aircraft was substantially damaged. The helicopter was registered to the New Mexico Department of Public Safety and operated by the New Mexico State Police (NMSP) on a public search and rescue mission under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 without a flight plan. The helicopter departed its home base at Santa Fe Municipal Airport, Santa Fe, New Mexico, about 1850 in visual meteorological conditions; instrument meteorological conditions prevailed when the helicopter departed the remote landing site about 2132. ## Factual narrative The Safety Board’s full report is available at http://www.ntsb.gov/publictn/A_Acc1.htm.
