- Cause: Partial loss of engine power for undetermined reasons, and the pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed (Vmc) during the engine-out approach.
A Cessna 414 being checked out before delivery to a new owner lost directional control during an approach to Petersburg after the right engine apparently lost power. The crew did not feather the propeller or retract the gear in time, and the aircraft struck the ground and a parked aircraft and a waste-oil tank. No one was injured.
