Aircraft Incidents and Accidents

Sunday, August 18, 2002 5:34 PM CDT
ROSEVILLE, ILLINOIS 61473

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
The failure and the resulting separation of the engine cylinder, which severed both electrical propeller control systems on the affected engine. A factor to the accident was the cornfield.
NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
While in cruise flight, the number one cylinder separated from the right engine, resulting in a total loss of engine power. The pilot was unable to feather the right propeller because both electrical propeller control systems were compromised when the cylinder separated from the engine. The pilot performed a gear-up forced landing into a cornfield.
