NTSB Accident History (1)

Date	NTSB #	Damage	Highest Injury	Probable Cause
Dec 18, 2000	NYC01LA059	Destroyed	Serious	Insufficient lubrication within the tail rotor gearbox, which resulted in the seizure of the duplex ball bearing and a fixed pitch setting of the tail rotor. Also causal, was the pilot's loss of control, which was the result of a relative low speed/high power combination during a go-around attempt. A factor was the manufacturer's lack of procedures for fixed tail rotor pitch settings.
