What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
At about 9 miles west of the field, an abnormal clanging noise was heard.
We began a climb from 3500’ to ensure field would be made in case of engine failure. At 7 miles out and 5000 feet, an ecu a and b annunciation was observed.
At 5 miles out, the oil pressure failed and brought power idle to glide the plane into jnx.
On 3-mile base, oil pressure dropped to zero; from there, we had sufficient altitude to make the runway reasonably, so no further troubleshooting action was taken. We landed and taxied off of the runway, and the engine shut down shortly after during the taxi.
Inspection of the engine revealed a large hole in the block. Post-maintenance inspection of the aircraft revealed a probable failure of an inner bearing cap screw. An airworthiness directive has since been issued for this issue (AD2024-05-01)
An SDR was submitted - 2024FA0000141
As the FAA filed it
AT ABOUT 9 MILES WEST OF THE FIELD, AN ABNORMAL CLANGING NOISE WAS HEARD.
WE BEGAN A CLIMB FROM 3500’ TO ENSURE FIELD WOULD BE MADE IN CASE OF ENGINE FAILURE. AT 7 MILES OUT AND 5000 FEET, AN ECU A AND B ANNUNCIATION WAS OBSERVED.
AT 5 MILES OUT, THE OIL PRESSURE FAILED AND BROUGHT POWER IDLE TO GLIDE THE PLANE INTO JNX.
ON 3-MILE BASE, OIL PRESSURE DROPPED TO ZERO; FROM THERE, WE HAD SUFFICIENT ALTITUDE TO MAKE THE RUNWAY REASONABLY, SO NO FURTHER TROUBLESHOOTING ACTION WAS TAKEN. WE LANDED AND TAXIED OFF OF THE RUNWAY, AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN SHORTLY AFTER DURING THE TAXI.
INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE REVEALED A LARGE HOLE IN THE BLOCK. POST-MAINTENANCE INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT REVEALED A PROBABLE FAILURE OF AN INNER BEARING CAP SCREW. AN AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE HAS SINCE BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS ISSUE (AD2024-05-01)
