NTSB accident and incident record under N805LA
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Hughes 369A · serial 101355
The pilot's failure to detect the presence of water in the helicopter fuel system before the flight, which resulted in a total loss of engine power during cruise. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's delayed recognition of the power loss and late initiation of an autorotation, which resulted in a hard landing on the ocean.
