On October 13, 2025, at 1229 central daylight time, a Rotorway AG162 helicopter, N162AD, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident near Valley View, Texas. The pilot and passenger were uninjured. The helicopter was operated under Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations as a Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot stated that he was en route to Hardy Field Airport, Valley View, Texas, when there was a decrease in main rotor speed. The pilot stated that he was unable to increase rotor speed and maintain altitude with control and engine inputs. He then performed a forced landing to a field, during which the tailboom separated from the airframe and resulted in substantial damage.
The helicopter was retained for examination.
