Jeff,
Thanks, It will be even more interesting to find out why
the std TCM engine failed on a "go-around" maneuver (if that is what
happened).

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.
