AN ITALIAN BUILT MILITARY TRAINER EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE DURING A DEMONSTRATION FLIGHT FOR A PROSPECTIVE BUYER. THE ENGINE FAILURE WAS THE RESULT OF THE FAILURE OF THE ENGINE OIL PUMP SHAFT. WHILE ATTEMPTING A FORCED LANDING TO A TWO LANE HIGHWAY, A HIGH RATE OF DESCENT DEVELOPED DURING AN INADVERTENT STALL AND THE AIRPLANE IMPACTED AN EMBANKMENT ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, EXPLODED AND BURNED. A 1975 SERVICE BULLETIN RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF THE FAILED SHAFT WITH AN IMPROVED SHAFT.
Probable Cause: THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AS THE RESULT OF THE FAILURE OF THE ENGINE OIL PUMP. FACTORS WERE NON COMPLIANCE WITH A SERVICE BULLETIN, THE LACK OF SUITABLE TERRAIN, AND INADVERTENT STALL.
