A certain Il-14 aircraft was conducting a night complex weather training flight. The takeoff, lift-off and retraction of the landing gear were all normal. However, when the throttle was reduced from takeoff power to climb power, the left engine suddenly lost thrust and the speed dropped to 1600 rpm. Ground personnel heard the sound of insufficient fuel causing detonation. The aircraft crashed into a 22-meter small hill and exploded and burned. Conclusion of the accident: There were two metal debris left by the factory during construction in the fuel distribution piston oil passage of the left engine's mixture ratio regulator, which jammed the fuel distribution piston and caused extreme lean fuel in the left engine.
The Aviation mechanic failed to promptly identify the cause of the engine failure and did not immediately take measures such as pushing the fuel-rich lever and feathering the propeller. As a result, the aircraft was unable to gain altitude quickly and crashed.
The aircraft was attached to the 34th Division.
According to https://www.chinamartyrs.gov.cn, Zhang Pin Yuan, Wu Chang Qu, Yan Han Ting, Chen Jin Cai, Liu Huai Xi all sacrificed in this air crash. Zhao Bing Gang, Tian Wei Zhi and Shao Gui Chun might have also died in this air crash.
