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 acft was unairworthy due to low compression on two cylinders on the left eng. A ferry permit was obtained which stipulates that the acft be airworthy for the proposed flt. According to the left eng logbook, the low compression problem was not corrected prior to flt. The flt was sequenced into the traffic pattern & requested to reduce his airspeed. The plt reported on a three mile final. Approximately one minute later the flt was cleared for landing. The immediate response from the plt was that he had just lost the left eng. A witness observed the acft enter a left wing low, nose down attitude & impact the ground. A compression check was performed on the left eng with the following results: 35/80, 60/80, 10/80, 68/80, 0/80, & 60/80.
