WITNESSES REPORTED THAT ABOUT 200 FT ABOVE THE GROUND, THE ACFT ROLLED TO THE LEFT AND COLLIDED WITH A POWERLINE BEFORE CRASHING TO THE GROUND IN A NEAR INVERTED ATTITUDE. THE PLT HAD RECENTLY REMARKED TO ONE OF HIS EMPLOYEES THAT HE HAD NOT DONE WELL ON A RECENT SIMULATED ENG OUT PROCEDURE WITH A FLT INSTRUCTOR.

## 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 19860411011369A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19860411011369A), Apr 11, 1986: Bag B2062, Pedro, FL, Destroyed, 1 fatal. Aircraft rolled inverted after engine failed on takeoff. Impacted the ground and burned. Connecting rod had broken.

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.
