What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The ATP rated pilot was repositioning the aircraft from Winterset, IA (3Y3) to des moines, IA (dsm) after the aircraft had just had an annual inspection completed. Within minutes after take off, oil pressure was lost, the engine seized and the pilot made an off-airport emergency landing causing minor damage to the aircraft. The pilot, the sole occupant was not injured. It was determined that during the engine oil change a drain hose attached to the quick drain was left in place. When the nose wheel retracted, it contacted the hose, thus opening the quick drain and dumping the engine oil.
