Aviation safety reports, made easier to study

NTSB Reports is an independent research and search tool for public aviation accident and incident records. It brings NTSB aviation reports, structured fields, docket files, extracted figures, photos, videos, and update history into one searchable interface.

The goal is practical safety education: make it faster to find relevant investigations, compare similar events, review factual records, and understand the evidence behind probable-cause and preliminary reports.

The investigative work and source records belong to the National Transportation Safety Board and the published investigation record. This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NTSB.

The certified flight instructor (CFI) was providing instruction to the student pilot, who had 3 hours of total flight time. The student pilot was practicing takeoffs and landings. During an attempted takeoff, the left skid did not lift off and the helicopter experienced a dynamic rollover, which is when the helicopter pivots about the skid remaining on the ground and enters a rolling motion that cannot be corrected with full lateral cyclic input. The helicopter rolled over on its left side and sustained substantial damage to its primary fuselage structure. The operator of the helicopter reported that at the time of the accident the student pilot had not learned how to hover. According to the company’s flight training syllabus, the CFI should not have been providing instruction in takeoffs and landings until the student pilot was able to safely hover the helicopter.

NTSB Probable Cause

The student pilot's control inputs that resulted in an inadvertent dynamic rollover and the CFI's inadequate supervision of the flight.

Full Narrative

The certified flight instructor (CFI) was providing instruction to the student pilot who had 3 hours of total flight time. The student pilot was practicing “pickups and set downs.” During an attempted pickup, the left skid did not lift off, and the helicopter experienced a dynamic rollover. The helicopter rolled over on its left side and sustained substantial damage to its primary fuselage structure. The operator of the helicopter reported that at the time of the accident, the student pilot had not learned how to hover. According to the company’s flight training syllabus, the CFI should not have been providing instruction in pickups and set downs until the student pilot was able to safely hover the helicopter.
