NTSB accident and incident record under N243D
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Hughes OH-6A · serial 691203
A loss of tail rotor effectiveness during aerial taxi, and the pilot's delayed remedial action to counteract a rapid right yaw, which resulted in an in-flight loss of directional control, and in-flight collision with terrain. A factor contributing to the accident was the pilot's lack of total experience in helicopters.
