Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kendall, NY \u2013 At approximately 8:33 PM on July 30, 2025, deputies from the Orleans County Sheriff\u2019s Office responded to the scene of a helicopter incident involving an experimental aircraft in an open field near Creek Road in the Town of Kendall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aircraft, a RotorWay EXEC 162F helicopter bearing tail number N843WB, sustained substantial damage after reportedly experiencing a rollover during a low-altitude hover maneuver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pilot, who is also the registered owner of the aircraft, was not present at the scene when deputies arrived. He later reported that while attempting a lateral hover, one of the helicopter’s skids contacted the ground, resulting in a dynamic rollover. The pilot sustained a minor injury and was treated at a local hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputies secured the area and conducted an initial assessment, noting significant damage to the rotor system, airframe, and skids. No fire, fuel leak, or hazardous materials were observed at the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this time, there is no indication of foul play or any threat to public safety. The incident has been referred to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for further investigation. The Orleans County Sheriff\u2019s Office is continuing to assist federal authorities as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O.C. Sheriff\u2019s Investigator Kevin Colonna, a Licensed Helicopter Pilot, led the investigation for Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
