NTSB Accident & Incident Record

Feb 14, 2013 Accident Substantial Danville, PA
InjuriesNone
Phase of Flight-
ConditionsVMC
OperationFAR 135
Probable Cause

The pilot’s decision to conduct a straight-in approach to the helipad, which resulted in the main rotor blade impacting a construction crane flag marker. Contributing to the accident was the erroneous information about the construction crane’s operation time and the pilot’s self-induced time pressure, which resulted from his awareness of the patient’s medical situation during the flight.
