| Date | Location | Reg# | Severity | Damage | Probable Cause |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sep 24, 2008 | Flagstaff, AZ | N926EL | Incident | substantial |

The pilot's failure to maintain adequate rotor rpm was also causal. Contributing factors were the high density altitude and the uneven high elevation terrain. |
| Sep 14, 2007 | Oakland, CA | N132SH | Incident | substantial | The student pilot's failure to adequately compensate for the crosswind conditions and to maintain directional control. |
| Jun 18, 2007 | Park City, UT | N712U | Incident | substantial | The pilot's failure to maintain rotor RPM during hover taxi. A contributing factor was the high density altitude weather condition. |
| Feb 27, 2007 | Tulare, CA | N199K | Incident | substantial |
