Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
During takeoff the eng lost power & the acft crashed landed collapsing the gear. The crankshaft, P/N631716, had broken in the cheek area between #2 & #3 crank throws. 1 month prior to this accident the acft had collided with a fence. Afterinstalling a new prop the acft was returned to service without overhauling the eng. Tcm serv bulletin M71-5 (examination of engs involved in prop strike accidents) states, in part, that the only sure method of inspecting for internal damage is complete eng disassembly & magnetic particle inspection of the crankshaft gears, etc.
