Factual narrative

AT 30 MI NORTH OF THE DESTINATION, THE INBOARD SIDE OF THE RIGHT ENG COWL POPPED LOOSE & BEGAN VIBRATING SEVERELY, THE PLT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE COWLING WOULD BREAK LOOSE & STRIKE THE VERT OF HORIZ STABILIZER SO HE FEATHERED THE R ENG. ATTHIS POINT, THE ARPT WAS ABOUT 19 MI AWAY. HOWEVER, HE STATED HE COULDN'T GET MORE THAN 28-29 INCHES OF MP ON THE L ENG & ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE R ENG. THE PROP CAME OUT OF FEATHER BUT THE ENG WOULD NOT START. THE WINDMILLING PROP CAUSED THE RATE OF DESCENT TO INCREASE & MADE A FORCED LANDING IMMINENT. DURING THE LANDING ROLL, THE NOSE GR COLLAPSED & THE ACFT NOSED OVER ONTO ITS BACK. THE R ENG FUEL SELECTOR WAS FOUND IN THE OFF POSITION. DURING THE TEST OF THE R ENG, IT RAN NORMALLY & REACHED 34-35 INCHES OF MP WITH NO ABNORMALITIES NOTED. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
