What happened
During a practice instrument landing system approach, the flight crew initiated a missed approach procedure. During this phase of flight, the right engine experienced a failure. Following this initial malfunction, the captain assumed control of the aircraft from the copilot to manage the emergency.
While the captain was executing the necessary emergency protocols for the right engine failure, he identified that the left engine was also failing to produce adequate power. In an attempt to manage the situation, the captain feathered the left propeller immediately prior to the aircraft's impact. The crew subsequently performed a forced landing in a body of water located to the east of the airport.
Findings
- The right engine failed during the transition to a missed approach.
- The left engine also failed to maintain power while the crew was responding to the first engine failure.
- The specific reason for the initial failure of the right engine remains undetermined.
