On July 26, 2024, at 10:40 Central Daylight Time, a Viking Aviation LLC, doing business as Survival Flight, Bell 407 helicopter, powered by a single Rolls-Royce Corporation model M250- C47B turboshaft engine, experienced an uncontained engine failure while traveling to refuel after dropping off a patient. The engine failure necessitated a forced landing in a field. The pilot reported the incident occurred during the third flight of the day while using night vision goggles (NVG) from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (OK) to Okmulgee, OK with the autopilot engaged and the helicopter in level flight at 2,000 feet mean sea level (MSL), 1,400 feet above ground level (AGL). The pilot reported that the cockpit gauges indicated the engine torque to be 78%, the gas producer temperature (NGT) 707°C-710°C, and gas producer rotor speed (Ng also commonly referred to as N1) at 98.6%.

The student pilot stated that while flying the experimental helicopter, the tail rotor kept pulling to the left. He attempted to land the helicopter to troubleshoot the issue when the skid got stuck in mud, and the helicopter rolled over. The engine’s hot exhaust caught the grass on fire, which then ignited the helicopter. The pilot and passenger egressed without issue, but the fire continued and destroyed the helicopter. The helicopter’s maintenance logbooks were onboard and were consumed by the fire. Due to the condition of the helicopter after being destroyed by fire, and the pilot not making the wreckage available, a postaccident examination was not possible.
