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
The plt reported that during takeoff, the acft was climbing thru about 50 ft AGL when he felt a vibration & noted a loss of power. Subsequently, the acft touched down hard near the departure end of the rwy. The main gear collapsed, then the acft slid into a ditch & was further damaged. An exam of the acft revealed that the shaft seal on the turbocharger had failed & allowed oil to escape into the exhaust sys. Subsequently, the turbo impeller became very hard to rotate.
