| 1983-09-04 | Accident in Gilderland, New York. On the day before the accident, an emergency landing was made in a hay field after the engine lost power. An examination of the aircraft revealed a defective fuel line. The fuel line was repaired. During a ground run-up, the engine produced full power and the magneto check was normal. However, during takeoff the engine lost power again at approximately 40 ft AGL. The pilot reported that while he was in a left turn to avoid trees, control effectiveness was lost and he could not level the wings. Subsequently, the aircraft crashed and was substantially damaged. An examination of the aircraft disclosed foreign material in the inlet elbow of the fuel strainer. The pilot stated that the material was a ball of gummy rust. In a diagram depicting its location, he showed that it was next to a defective hose connection. (NTSB # NYC83LA236) | |
