Incident Overview
During the climbout in night visual meteorological conditions, the aircraft experienced a loss of right engine power. The pilot had initially been cleared for one runway but was unable to obtain a safe gear indication. Consequently, the pilot executed a 180-degree turn to land on the opposite runway while attempting to resolve the gear indication issue.
Approach and Landing
While turning from base to final, with the landing gear down and locked, the pilot overshot final approach. Faced with the overshoot, the pilot then selected an unlit parking lot for an off-airport landing. During the landing, the aircraft struck a tree and a power line. It also collided with several parked unoccupied vehicles.
Post-Inspection Findings
An on-site inspection by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) revealed that the right turbocharger had failed.
Probable Cause
The probable cause identified was a failed right turbocharger.
