NTSB Accident & Incident Record

InjuriesNone
Phase of Flight-
ConditionsVMC
OperationFAR 091
Probable Cause

A loss of available power to the main rotor due to a fractured exhaust pushrod and housing, which allowed engine oil to coat the V-belts. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's decision to continue the tour and his failure to maintain adequate rotor rpm during the landing, which resulted in a hard landing.
