It will be interesting to find out why it "lost power." Is it that the turbine didn't spool up fast enough?

HEADLINE: Ariz. man injured in Kan. plane crash
An Arizona man was injured after he crashed a small plane in eastern
Kansas.
Fifty-six-year-old Mark Sherman of Chandler suffered a broken back in
the crash.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says Sherman was the pilot of the
single-engine Lancair IV Propjet that lost power while he was attempting to
land at Allen County Airport on Wednesday.
The patrol says Sherman approached from the south, but had to circle the
area while another plane was on the runway.
The plane landed 200 feet northeast of the runway. It skidded for
about 50 yards until the wheels and tailsection broke off the aircraft.
The crash also caused a fire that engulfed the plane.
