Dec 4, 1994 · Kenai, AK
THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INFORMATION IN THE FLIGHT MANUAL CONCERNING THE USE OF THE PARTICLE SEPARATOR KIT AND DEFLECTOR KIT WHEN OPERATING IN FALLING SNOW. FACTORS WERE THE ROUGH TERRAIN IN THE FORCED LANDING AREA AND NO INSTALLATION OF THE DEFLECTOR KIT.
WHILE ON A LOCAL FLT, THE PLT DESCENDED TO APRX 500 FT AGL AND FLEW THE HELICOPTER ALONG A COASTAL AREA. HE REPORTED THE HELICOPTER SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND HE INITIATED AN AUTOROTATIVE LANDING TO THE BEACH WHERE THE HELICOPTER 'HAD A HARD LANDING.' AN EXAM REVEALED A CRACKED AND BROKEN PNEUMATIC LINE AT THE FUEL CONTROLLER.
THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AT AN ALTITUDE OF 800 FEET MSL DURING THE CLIMB TO CRUISE PHASE OF A SIGHTSEEING FLIGHT WITH 3 PASSENGERS ON BOARD. THE ACFT LANDED IN THE SURF OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN AND DAMAGED THE TAIL ROTOR. THE PILOT AND PASSENGERS RECEIVED NO INJURIES. AN EXAMINATION OF THE FUEL SYSTEM DISCLOSED AN EXESS OF 3 GALLONS OF FRESH WATER IN THE TANK.
These match the airframe or engine model. Whether each one applies, and whether it's been complied with, depends on serial numbers, equipment and logbook entries. Applicability must be confirmed by a mechanic against the aircraft's records.
