NTSB Accident History (1)
| Date | NTSB # | Damage | Highest Injury | Probable Cause |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 28, 2022 | WPR23LA078 | Substantial | Serious | The pilot’s failure to apply anti-torque pedal input in a sufficient, timely, and sustained manner while attempting to arrest a turn during a hover-taxi, which resulted in a loss of directional control. Contributing to the severity of the occupants’ injuries was the inconsistent performance of the seats’ energy-absorption devices, which was likely due to the rotational forces encountered during the accident which were not required to be accounted for during the seat certification process. |
