Analysis
While descending through about 4500 ft MSL, the pilot heard a rattling sound in the engine and noticed a loss of power. He declared an emergency and was provided vectors to the Wadsworth municipal airport. However, he was unable to reach the airfield. The aircraft nosed over during a landing roll on soft, plowed terrain. An examination of the engine revealed that the crankshaft failed from fatigue.
