🇸🇬Helicopter incidents in Singapore

This database records 15 helicopter incidents in Singapore, the earliest in 1953 and the most recent in 2010. The worst single year was 1964, with 2 incidents.

13 deaths across 5 fatal accidents, which is 33% of all incidents recorded here. Every other accident in Singapore was survived by everyone on board. The deadliest was on 1991-01-07 at Sembawang, which killed 4.

The most frequently recorded type is the Eurocopter AS332M with 2 incidents, followed by the Westland Wasp HAS.1 with 2. That reflects how many of each type fly in Singapore rather than how safe they are.

Where a cause has been established, the most common is mechanical failure, in 10 accidents, then weather in 1. Many records carry no established cause, either because the investigation is open or because none was published.
