Incident Overview
A pilot reported an engine power loss during a touch-and-go landing procedure. After the third takeoff in a sequence, the right engine lost power, and the aircraft began to drift to the right. The pilot reduced power and executed a gear-up landing in the grass on the right side of Runway 08.
Post-Crash Examination
Following the incident, examination of the right engine revealed that the fuel pressure switch had shorted out. This caused the high fuel boost pump to activate during normal engine operation, resulting in excessively high fuel pressure. The high pressure flooded the engine, leading to the power loss.
Findings
The investigation identified the shorted fuel pressure switch as the root cause of the engine failure. No other contributing factors were reported.
