## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of engine power(total) - mech failure/malf, descent - normal
  - engine assembly,crankshaft - fatigue (cause)
- Forced landing, descent
- Nose over, landing - roll
  - terrain condition - soft (contributing factor)

## 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.
