NTSB accident and incident record under N802JR
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Bell Helicopter Textron Canada 407 · serial 53971
The pilot’s loss of control during the initial climb in dark night conditions due to spatial disorientation, which resulted in a steep banking descent into trees and terrain. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s lack of recent night flight experience, improper cockpit lighting settings, and his failure to use the helicopter’s stability augmentation system before and during the unusual attitude.
