Accident · substantial damage
Aug 2, 2017 · Jupiter, FL
A design change in the helicopter's fly-by-wire control system that resulted in an increase in the sensitivity of the cyclic stick while transitioning from ground to flight mode, magnifying the pilot's control inputs, which resulted in unintentional over control in the roll axis, upper and lower main rotor contact, and damage to the rotor blades.
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.
No ADs published since 1998 matched this airframe or engine model.
AI-extracted — verify against original. Matched from each AD's applicability section; ADs replaced by a later AD are left out.
