NTSB accident and incident record under N83701
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Bell 47G-3B-1 · serial 3835
the settling with power encountered by the pilot. A factor was the sudden windshift.
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Bell 47G-3B-1 · serial 3835
failure of maintenance personnel to perform an adequate inspection of the fuselage center frame and detect a fatigue fracture of a longeron tube on the upper left side of the center frame, which resulted in a disconnect of the tail rotor drive shaft from the transmission, loss of yaw (anti-torque) control, and a subsequent hard (emergency) landing. A related factor was the lack of suitable terrain for a forced landing.
