| Investigating agency: | AAIB |
| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The aircraft lost power during take off, hit some overhead power cables during a forced landing and impacting a main road between Raglan and Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales. It was consumed by the post-impact fire. The three occupants, the pilot and his two children, were pulled out of the wreckage and transported to hospital.
AAIB Conclusion:
The loss of power after takeoff experienced by 2-RORO was probably caused by over-fuelling leading to a mixture too rich for the engine. Both the engine and aircraft manufacturers have investigated cases where an engine has been over-fuelled when the aircraft is at a low altitude but with a high power setting, such as with the accident takeoff. The manufacturer developed a software modification to remove this risk by preventing the high boost/prime function being active below 10,000 ft altitude with the manifold pressure above 24 in Hg.
This software modification was embodied on 2-RORO at the time of the accident. The cause of the over-fuelling was not determined because many components of the fuel system as well as the data recorder were not located or were destroyed in the post-impact fire.
