Accident Summary:
THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE B/101 HELIPORT AT 0745 HOURS 24 SEP 69, LANDED AT
EAGLE POL TO REFUEL, AND THEN PROCEEDED TO THE 501ST SIGNAL BATTALION FOR A LOG
MISSION. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED AT EAGLE BEACH AND SHUT DOWN FOR THE FIRST TIME
THAT DAY, REMAINING ON THE GROUND FOR 30 MINUTES. WHEN THE AIRCRAFT STARTED AT
EAGLE BEACH, THE LEFT FUEL BOOST LIGHT CAME ON. THE AIRCRAFT COMMANDER STATED IN
LATER QUESTIONING THAT HE RAN A CHECK ONTHE FUEL BOOST SYSTEM BY PULLING THE
RIGHT FUEL BOOST PUMP CIRCUIT BREAKER. FUEL PRESSURE DROPPED TO 0 PSI, AND THE
ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE ENGINE DRIVEN PUMPS WERE
FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED EAGLE BEACH AND FLEW TO PHU LOC
WHERE IT SHUT DOWN FOR THE SECOND TIME THAT DAY, REMAINING ON THE GROUND 15
MINUTES. THE AIRCRAFT STARTED AT PHU LOC TO PROCEED TO EAGLE POL FOR REFUELING,
AND ON THIS START THE LEFT FUEL BOOST CAUTION LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. THE
AIRCRAFT DEPARTED PHU LOC AND ON CLIMBOUT THE LEFT DUEL BOOST PUMP LIGHT CAME ON
AGAIN. JUST PRIOR TO REACHING FSB RAY AT AN ALTITUDE OF APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET
THE RIGHT FUEL BOOST PUMP CAUTION LIGHT CAME ON. THE PILOT RESET THE MASTER
CAUTION, AND WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 15 SECONDS THE FUEL PRESSURE DROPPED TO
0. IN LATER QUESTIONING THE AIRCRAFT COMMANDER STATED THAT HE CONTINUED HIS
CLIMB, THINKING THAT THE ENGINE DRIVEN PUMPS WOULD KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING, AND
HIS INTENTIONS WERE TO LAND THE AIRCRAFT AT THE ROCK CRUSHER AND RECHECK THE
SYSTEM. HOWEVER, JUST AFTER THE FUEL PRESSURE DROPPED TO 0 PSI THE RPM WARNING
LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE AIRCRAFT COMMANDER ENTERED AUTOROTATION. THE AIRCRAFT
COMMANDER ELECTED TO LAND HIS AIRCRAFT ON HIGHWAY 1 AND WAS ESTABLISHED IN AN 80
KNOT STRAIGHT-IN AUTOROTATION TO THE HIGHWAY. THE PILOT WAS CALLING N1 TO BE 80%
AT APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET, HE ATTEMPTED A POWER RECOVERY AND RPM BLED DOWN. THE
AIRCRAFT COMMANDER RE-ESTABLISHED AUTOROTATION AND AT THAT TIME VEHICLES DROVE
OUT OF A HAMLET AND ONTO THE HIGHWAY NEAR THE INTENDED LANDING AREA. THE
AIRCRAFT WAS ABREAST OF A RICE PADY AND THE AIRCRAFT COMMANDER MADE A TIGHT
STEEP LEFT TURN OF APPROXIMATELY 180 DEG, PULLED PITCH JUST PRIOR TO REACHING
THE GROUND, AND THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN SKIDS LEVEL, BOUNCED APPROXIMATELY A
FOOT IN THE AIR, CONTINUED FORWARD FOR ABOUT FIVE FEET TURNING 90 DEG TO THE
LEFT AND LANDED HARD COLLAPSING THE RIGHT SKID.
