Sep 27, 2004 Accident Substantial Kingman, KS
Injuries2 serious
Phase of Flight-
ConditionsVMC
OperationFAR 091
Probable Cause

The lack of engine oil due to the mechanic's improper maintenance in not securing the loose "B" nut for the oil pressure line to the turbocharger leading to the loss of engine power while maneuvering. An additional cause was the unsuitable terrain the pilot encountered during the forced landing. A factor was the terrace the nose wheel impacted and subsequently nosed over.
