Ric,
For some reason,the address you gave on the accident report didn't work.
I looked it up in the NTSB database. Sounds like a PSRU failure on a GM V-8
engine. For those who had trouble finding the report like I did, the text
is below.
Skip Slater
NTSB Identification: LAX01LA108
Accident occurred Sunday, March 04, 2001 at Marana, AZ
Aircraft:Harlow Lancair ES, registration: N350N
Injuries: 1 Minor, 1 Uninjured.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors.
Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been
completed.
On March 4, 2001, at 1037 hours mountain standard time, a Harlow Lancair ES,
N350N, was substantially damaged during an emergency landing in a field near
Marana, Arizona, due to smoke emanating from the engine cowling. The private
pilot sustained minor injuries while the sole passenger was uninjured.
Visual
meteorological conditions prevailed during the flight from Casa Grande to La
Cholla Airpark, Arizona. The flight was conducted by the owner under 14 CFR
Part
91. The aircraft departed Casa Grande at an unknown time, and no flight plan
was filed.
The pilot stated that during his flight from Casa Grande to La Cholla, he
noted smoke coming out of the cowling as he neared Marana. The pilot stated
that he
reduced power and initiated an emergency landing, intending to land at
Marana Northwest Regional Airport. As he descended, he realized that he was
not going to
make the airport and applied power to slow the descent. The engine responded
to the throttle input, but the propeller did not.
The passenger, who is also a pilot, stated that the propeller was turning
independently of the engine. He stated that this aircraft had a marine
version of the G.M. LT-1 automotive engine. According to his observation,
the engine was running but the prop was not being driven through the gear
box.
