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 airplane departed montgomery airport, runway 28L, San Diego, CA. Shortly after departing a fire erupted in the upper cowling area. The pilot executed an emergency landing on runway 05, but landed hard. Examination of the wreckage disclosed the number 2 cylinder failed near the exhaust port and adjacent to the turbocharger oil pressure line. The hot gasses burnt a hole through the oil line and the subsequent oil spray entered onto the exhaust collector.
