Exploding Helicopters in Arizona
Helicopter explosions can occur in the air or after a collision with another object.

Helicopter crashes occur in Arizona for all types of reasons and to all types of people. Furthermore, helicopter injury accidents can take place in any city across the state, such as the Yuma helicopter crash that killed two Marines.

The following provides a brief glimpse of the variety of Arizona helicopter crashes that have left destruction and devastation dating back to 1993.

August 7, 1993: A multiple helicopter collision between two Papillon Airways helicopters occurred at the Grand Canyon Airport in Tusayan. Three people experienced severe injuries, nine received minor injuries, and two walked away with no injuries.

April 9, 2000: Nineteen people died when a military helicopter crashed in flames shortly after 8:00 p.m. The crash occurred at the Marana Regional Airport.

July 5, 2003: Four passengers were injured during a Sundance Helicopters tour due to an in-flight electrical failure. The failure forced the helicopter into a hard landing at Temple Bar, Arizona, that then caused the helicopter to flip onto its right side.

Three Common Causes of Helicopter Crashes

Pilot Error Helicopter Crash
Operational error is a common contributing factor in aviation accidents.

Most aviation accidents, including helicopter crashes, are caused by the same three contributing factors: operational error, electrical malfunction, or mechanical malfunction.

Operational Error. Otherwise known as human error, is the number one cause of helicopter crashes. Mistakes with planning flight schedules, not spending enough time on pre- and post-flight inspections, an inexperienced pilot, or a seasoned pilot who fails to properly assess or respond to weather conditions or other risks can result in people experiencing injuries or even death.

Electrical malfunctions. A glitch in the electronic system can result in a loss of engine power, loss of flight control augmentation, and loss of power to electronic instruments. These failures can cause a pilot to lose control of the helicopter and crash.

Mechanical malfunctions. Irregular maintenance checks, faulty parts, and improper reassembly of replacement parts can cause mechanical malfunctions.
