On November 22, 2009, a BOEING B75N1 was involved in an aviation accident near St. Louis, MO. No fatalities were reported. Investigators recorded the probable cause as: A loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. This summary draws on records from NTSB; 12 related events involving the same aircraft type or operator are linked below.
A pilot reported multiple engine power losses after takeoff, leading to a forced landing into trees. Examination found no anomalies to explain the power loss.
Flight Sequence
The pilot reported that the airplane's engine lost power when the airplane was about 150 feet above ground level after takeoff. After about 3 seconds, the engine restarted and ran for another 6 to 7 seconds before losing power again. The pilot elected not to land on a busy highway and selected a small field to attempt a forced landing. He realized he would not be able to make the field and elected to stall the airplane into trees.
Engine Examination
Subsequent examination of the engine confirmed engine crankshaft and valve train continuity. Each cylinder produced "thumb" compression and the magnetos produced spark at all leads when the engine was rotated by hand. Fuel was found within the fuel tank and fuel lines leading to the engine. No anomalies were found that would explain the reported loss of engine power.
