LAX95LA331Accident on September 10, 1995 at Yuma, AZ: no injuries, substantial damage.

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Bell 47G-3B2 · serial 6804

the failure of the pilot and company maintenance personnel to detect a crack in the clevis ears during the required daily inspection and the recent annual inspection. A factor in the accident was the improper welding and stress relief procedure used to assemble the components, which induced high residual stresses in the clevis ears and led to fatigue cracking of the part.
