## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

APPROXIMATELY 12 MINUTES AFTER TAKEOFF FROM SUSSEX COUNTY  NJ AIRPORT AIRCRAFT N6915R A CESSNA 210-T CRASH LANDED WITH LANDING GEAR RETRACTED, ON COUNTY RT 42 AND CAUGHT FIRE BEYOND REPAIR. PILOT WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE AIRCRAFT SUFFERING NO INJURIES.

UPON INVESTIGATION, IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE ENGINE SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE.  PHOTOS WERE TAKEN OF LARGE HOLE IN FORWARD LEFT UPPER CRANKCASE WHERE #6 CYLINDER CONNECTIONG ROD EXITED.  THROUGH HOLE, IT COULD BE SEEN THAT BOTH THE CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT WERE COMPLETELY BROKEN IN TWO.  INSPECTION OF LOGBOOKS DID NOT REVEAL IMPROPER MAINTENANCE.  PILOT STATED THAT HE LOWERED BOTH FLAPS AND LANDING GEAR ON APPROACH TO LANDING BUT THE AIRCRAFT LANDED GEAR UP.  THIS COULD BE POSSIBLE DUE TO LOSS OF ENGINE POWER DRIVING ENGINE DRIVEN HYDRAULIC PUMP.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

Probable cause: Maintenance personnel’s improper torque of the engine through-bolts during maintenance, which resulted in a bearing shift, oil starvation, and a total loss of engine power.
