## Sequence of events

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

- Airframe/component/system failure/malfunction, cruise
  - flight control,rudder - disconnected (cause)
  - rudder - not possible, pilot in command (cause)
- Loss of control - on ground/water, landing - roll
  - directional control - not possible, pilot in command (contributing factor)
- Nose over, landing - roll

## Analysis

AIRCRAFT WAS BEING TEST FLOWN FOLLOWING GROUND ADJUSTMENT OF RUDDER CONTROL CABLES. DURING THE FLIGHT RUDDER CONTROL WAS LOST WHEN RUDDER BEARING BLOCKS DETACHED FROM THEIR MOUNTING SURFACES. PILOT WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL DURING LANDING ROLLOUT AND NOSED OVER DURING BRAKE APPLICATION.

## FAA reports on this event (1)

The FAA's own accident and incident reports, matched to the aircraft by N-number and date (OpenAirDocs).

- [Accident 19860729036329A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19860729036329A), Jul 29, 1986: Amtrqk QUICKIE2, Eden Prairie, MN, Substantial damage. Lost directional control on landing rollout. Flipped over on its back. Rudder bearing blocks detached from mounts.

## Other investigations on N202SH (2)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB ERA13CA394](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA13CA394), Aug 30, 2013: Hoskins Samuel R Quickie Q2 (N202SH), Zelienople, PA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's loss of directional control during takeoff due to right main landing gear contact with a pool of standing water on the runway which resulted in a runway excursion.
- [NTSB CHI01LA282](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI01LA282), Aug 22, 2001: Hoskins Quickie Q2 (N202SH), Carbondale, IL, substantial damage. Probable cause: The failure of the tailwheel spring. A factor was the directional control not possible by the pilot.
