The below accidents represent a wider range and common causes of aircraft accidents. They give clear assumptions as far as aircraft accident is concerned.
First Choice
On 13 May 2014, Eurocopter AS 350 BA helicopter endeavored to assess power-line vegetation infiltration. The aircraft had a pilot and an observer. The inspection was to cover a 25-kilovolt power distribution line. Just before landing the skid gear gained contact with the trees, the aircraft fell, and rolled over only to be stopped by the snow. This took place in the area around Hydro-Quebec’s Sainte-Marguerite power plant.
