Salvage Details

 

Bell 206 L-3, 1667, serial number 51208; it has a total of 6,033 flight hours since new. The Rolls-Royce 250C engine, serial number CAE-895915, has a total of 3,648 flight hours since new..

 

Accident Circumstances

 

On 29th January 2016, while providing top-cover protection for another Bell 206 helicopter during a defoliating-spray operation to destroy poppy plantations, 42 nautical miles southwest of Ciudad Altamirano, Guerrero, the pilot reported that he had heard an unusual noise coming from the engine; so, he decided to land beside a river to check the helicopter condition. But, in his hurry to land, the pilot touched down on uneven rocks and his subsequent over-controlling caused a main rotor blade to hit the upper wire cutter

 

Damage

Due to the heavy landing, the helicopter sustained damage to: the main rotor hub assembly (including the pitch links); the swashplate assembly; one main rotor blade; the upper wire cutter. In addition, the engine and transmission require sudden stop inspections.

 

As a result of the rescue operation the two lower windshields broke, and the belly shell structures have multiple scratches and gouges in the honeycomb structure.

Aircraft Details

Helicopter built in 1980, serial number 2966, it has 10,174 total flight hours since new.

Accident Circumstances

On 15th October 2020, during a training session, the instructor pilot reduced engine power after take-off to simulate an engine stoppage. The pilot-in-training attempted to land but brought the cyclic stick backwards at touchdown and the main rotor blades came down and chopped off the tail rotor assembly and fin. The helicopter landed very heavy with low rotor RPM.

Damage

The vertical fin, transmission and all the tail section (tail boom, tail rotor gearbox, tail rotor blades, tail rotor hub assembly and tail rotor shafts) are scrap. The undercarriage is splayed, so the cross tubes need replacing. The engine requires hard landing and sudden stop inspections. All the avionics need to be bench-tested.

Accident Circumstances

On 12th March 2021, the helicopter took-off from an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico bound for the helipad of the harbour of Dos Bocas, Tabasco. According to the pilot’s report, during his final approach to land, the helicopter suddenly started to yaw (turn around its vertical axis) to the right: the tail rotor blade pitch (controlled by pedals in the cockpit) had reached its limit, so the helicopter started turning clockwise. The main rotor blades turn anti-clockwise, so the fuselage will turn clockwise if there is not enough, or no, counter-thrust from the tail rotor. Therefore, the pilot lowered the collective lever (pitch control) and decelerated the engines to attempt a normal landing, but hit the ground exceptionally heavily while still yawing.

Damage

Extensive damage to the fuselage structure. Skid landing gear collapsed under 10G+ deceleration of heavy landing. Compression of cabin  at cabin floor and transmission deck level structure visible.  Front vertical beam buckled and cabin twisted right and downwards.

The airframe is in Mielec, Poland, the engines in Canada (at Pratt & Whitney) and the rest of the aircraft at Leonardo Helicopters Philadelphia. The complete helicopter will be gathered and delivered in Philadelphia.

Accident Circumstances

On 25th September2019, during a training session at Military Air Base #1, Santa Lucia, State of Mexico, the helicopter landed heavily on the right landing gear first and collapsed, the landing gear sponson structure was badly distorted.

Damage

The impact on the landing gear support box caused damage on the roof, floor and vertical panels that linked the two; therefore, the whole central section of the cabin should be replaced. The engines need a light overhaul; the landing gear is scrap. The tail rotor gearbox, main rotor dampers (4) and tail rotor servo-actuator were overhauled by Leonardo. Also, Leonardo repaired the main rotor blades (4), rotor blades (2) and main rotor servo-actuators (3).
