## Discrepancy

(CAN) ACCORDING TO REPORTS, CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY DUE TO ENGINE DISTRESS. DURING SUBSEQUENT LANDING, A/C EXITED THE RUNWAY BEFORE HITTING A DITCH. THE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE NOSE OF THE A/C WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED. THE RUNWAY EXCURSION WAS CAUSED BY A LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL DURING LANDING.   DISASSEMBLY (BY THE OPERATOR) OF THE ENGINE ON WHICH THE LOSS OF POWER OCCURRED, SHOWED FUEL PUMP DRIVE SHAFT SPLINE DISTRESS (DE-COUPLE). A LARGE AMOUNT OF CORROSION WAS PRESENT AROUND THE AREA.
