Narrative:The helicopter, engaged in firefighting, struck a power line. The pilots had to perform an emergency landing in a stream. One POB died.
The committee determines the cause of the HL9414 accident as follows:
- Pilots' inadequate awareness of obstacles such as power lines during firefighting operations.
- Inappropriate selection of the flight path by the pilot, flying through valleys instead of over ridges or transmission towers in areas with power lines.
As a contributing factor, the committee determines the "absence of aviation obstruction markings on power lines in the firefighting area."
