Narrative:On June 27, 1996, about 1945 eastern daylight time, a Beech B55B, N112G, registered to a private owner, operating as a 14 CFR Part 91, personal flight, crashed in the vicinity of Clinton, North Carolina. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The airplane was destroyed. The commercial pilot received minor injuries, and one passenger was not injured.
The flight, which was en route to Concord, North Carolina, had lifted off of runway 6, and had climbed to an altitude of about 200 feet above the ground, when the pilot reported that the airplane's right engine lost power. The airplane drifted to the right, and struck trees. The pilot stated, there was no warning of any engine trouble, and that he did not have time to feather the propeller, or retract the landing gear. He further stated, "...shortly after leaving the runway the engine quit and the plane started veering right toward the wooded area and went down...."
According to the passenger, "shortly after taking off...the plane started quick[ly] dropping and jerking." The pilot told her to hold on, and "took the plane down in wooded area."
Both engines were test run under the supervision of the FAA, at Piedmont Aviation's facilities, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on August 13-14, 1996. Both engines ran without any discrepancies.
PROBABLE CAUSE:a loss of right engine power for undetermined reasons, resulting in the pilot loosing control of the airplane and impact with tress.
