What happened
During the final approach phase of flight, the pilot received clearance to land but subsequently notified air traffic control of a potential engine shutdown. Despite communicating the possibility of engine failure, the pilot did not formally declare an emergency or ask for specific assistance from controllers. As the aircraft progressed on short final, it was observed rolling to the left before impacting the ground.
There was only one fatality recorded in the accident, as the pilot was the only person on board the aircraft.
Findings
Post-accident investigations determined that the left engine was failing to produce necessary power at the time of the crash. While the left propeller had not been feathered, the right engine was found to be operating at high power during the impact. Despite the loss of power, investigators found no mechanical deficiency within the left engine or the propeller assembly itself.
