What happened
During the takeoff phase, an airline transport pilot was operating the controls of the aircraft as part of a training session. At an altitude of approximately 10 and feet, the engine experienced a total loss of power. Upon the failure, the certified flight instructor took control of the aircraft.
In an attempt to avoid a steel rail fence located at the end of the runway, the flight instructor initiated a left turn. During this maneuver, the left wing tip made contact with the ground. The impact caused the airplane to rotate 180 degrees before coming to a final rest on the terrain.
The investigation
An examination of the aircraft by a mechanic identified the cause of the engine power loss. The investigation found that a broken throttle control cable clamp had failed. While the airframe manufacturer specified the use of a steel clamp for this component, the part installed on the aircraft was made of aluminum.
