The fatal 2020 crash of a Houston Police MD Helicopters MD530E has stumped NTSB investigators. In its final report on the accident issued this week, the Board found the probable cause to be “an uncommanded right yaw that occurred for reasons that could not be determined based on the available evidence, which resulted in a loss [of] control.”
