Event
During cruise flight, a partial loss of power occurred in the right engine. The pilot decided to execute a precautionary landing at a nearby airport. While maneuvering to the airport, the pilot placed the landing gear handle down but observed that the gear down indicator lights did not illuminate. The pilot then manually extended the landing gear. Following this, the pilot realized he did not have enough altitude to reach the airfield.
Impact
A witness observed the airplane impact the surface of a lake and subsequently sink. The sequence of events highlights the challenges faced by the pilot, including the engine power loss, landing gear system anomaly, and altitude management during the emergency approach.
Investigation
The investigation into the incident will focus on the reasons for the partial engine power loss and the failure of the landing gear indicator lights to illuminate. No further details were provided in the initial source.
