The cause of the loss of control was not established conclusively, but the report said that the pilot might have experienced ‘the sudden onset of a cardiac event.’</p> <h2>July–August 2000</h2> <p><a href="/hs/hs_jul_aug00.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Records Show 27 U.S.-registered Helicopters Involved in Midair Collisions During 1990s </a>6 pages. [PDF 45K]</p> <p>The collisions represented 1.4 percent of all accidents involving helicopters registered in the United States throughout the decade.</p> <h2>May–June 2000</h2> <p><a href="/hs/hs_may_june00.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Engine, Transmission Failures Lead Causes of Accidents in U.S. Helicopter Logging Operations</a> 12 pages. [PDF 103K]</p> <p>More than half the accidents in U.S. helicopter logging operations in 1983 through 1999 involved failures of engines or transmission systems.

The pilot was seriously injured,<br /> and a crewmember was killed.</p> <h2>January–February 2000</h2> <p><a href="/hs/hs_jan_feb00.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Air Ambulance Strikes Mountain In Heavy Snow and High Winds</a> 4 pages. [PDF 49K]</p> <p>Witnesses said blizzard conditions existed at a remote rescue site when a Bell 222UT pilot attempted to evacuate a critically injured cross-country skier. The investigation report said that the pilot’s “perception of pressure”<br /> to complete the flight was a factor in the accident.</p> <p> </p> <p align="center"><a target="_top"
