Read the full NTSB narrative
AFTER APRX 20 SUCCESSFUL TAKEOFFS & LANDINGS, THE ENG OF THE HELICOPTER LOST POWER AT ABOUT 300 FT AGL, DUE TO A #1 CONNECTING ROD FAILURE. DURING AN AUTOROTATION, THE HELICOPTER LANDED IN TREES & WAS DESTROYED. ALTHOUGH THE PILOT WAS INSTRUCTING A NEW STUDENT PILOT, HE HELD NO FAA FLYING CERTIFICATE. THE LAST ANNUAL INSPECTION OF THE HELICOPTER WAS DATED 12/2/75. A TEARDOWN OF THE ENG REVEALED DISCREPANCIES IN THE INSTALLATION OF THE #2, #3 & #4 ROD CAPS. DUE TO THE DAMAGE, PROPER INSTALLATION OF THE #1 ROD CAP COULD NOT BE VERIFIED.
