NTSB accident and incident record under N4250N

LAX97LA218Accident on June 20, 1997 at Pacific Ocean, PO: fatal, destroyed (1 fatal).

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Hughes 369HS · serial 450734S

The unapproved field modification of the cyclic trim switch, including the use of non-standard parts, which resulted in a hard-over lateral trim failure, and the pilot's subsequent failure to maintain control of the helicopter during a landing approach. A factor in the accident was the operator's failure to comply with a factory service bulletin, which required replacement of the switch with a new version, and the pilot's continued operation with a known discrepancy.
