Whilst en route, some 25 to 30 min after take-off, the helicopter's No. 1 engine reportedly failed. The helicopter was apparently unable to maintain height and it ditched in the sea off Valdez. An examination of the wreckage revealed that the pilot did not turn on the four fuel pumps prior to take-off as required by the aircraft flight manual.
