| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that the aircraft was departing empty from the Snake Creek Fish Farm after delivering a load of freight. As the aircraft was becoming airborne, the right engine failed. The pilot closed the throttles, selected the right propeller to feather, landed the aircraft and commenced braking. He assessed that insufficient runway remained for a successful stop so he initiated a ground-loop to the left. Just before the aircraft stopped, the nose leg struck a mound of earth that had been hidden in the grass. This caused the nose gear leg to collapse and both propellers were damaged.
