NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
On October 21, 2013, at about 1845 Hawaii standard time, a Cessna 208B, N861MA, sustained substantial damage during an emergency landing, about 13 miles south of the Kahului Airport (OGG), Kahului, Hawaii. The airplane was registered to Mokulele Flight Service Inc., and operated by Mokulele Airlines as flight number 1770, under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 135. The airline transport pilot, commercial pilot, and eight passengers were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and an instrument flight rules flight plan was filed. The scheduled domestic flight originated at about 1830, from OGG with a planned destination of Waimea-Kohala Airport (MUE) Hawaii.
According to the flight crew, during climb out, at about 8500 feet, mean sea level, a loud bang was heard followed by a loss of engine power. The flight crew turned the airplane and proceeded back towards the island of Maui, about 9 miles south of their position. Emergency checklists were accomplished and the pilots elected to perform an emergency landing on the Piilani highway (state route 31). During the landing roll out, the airplane struck two highway traffic signs that caused substantial damage to the wing.
The airplane is being recovered to a secure storage facility for further examination.
