## Sequence of events

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

- Loss of engine power(total) - mech failure/malf, cruise
  - fluid,oil - no pressure (cause)
  - engine assembly - overtemperature (cause)
  - engine assembly - failure,total (cause)
- Forced landing, descent - emergency
- In flight collision with object, landing - roll
  - object - tree(s) (contributing factor)

## Analysis

WHILE AT CRUISE A TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE OIL PRESSURE OCCURRED WITH THE ENGINE SEIZING SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. THE AIRCRAFT WAS FORCE LANDED INTO TREES IN A REMOTE AREA. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST INVERTED. DUE TO THE POSITION OF THE AIRCRAFT, EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINE WAS NOT POSSIBLE. CAUSE OF THE LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE WAS NOT DETERMINED.

## 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 19870301006789A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19870301006789A), Mar 1, 1987: Conaer LA4200, Haines, AK, Destroyed. The engine siezed after loss of oil pressure. Aircraft struck trees during landing. Cause of oil loss undetermined.

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.
