- Location: Caribbean Sea, World

- Cause: Loss of engine power for undetermined reasons; the inability to feather the propeller contributed.
A Beechcraft Queen Air lost oil pressure and then power on its right engine during cruise. The pilot could not feather the propeller and the aircraft could not hold altitude, so he ditched about 75 miles southeast of St Croix. He inflated a raft and was rescued about four hours later; the airplane was not recovered.
