NTSB accident and incident record under N31XL

MIA01FA152Accident on June 3, 2001 at Jackson, TN: fatal, destroyed (5 fatal).

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Piper PA-31-T2 · serial 31T-8166003

The pilot's shutting down the left engine following loss of control of the left propeller resulting in an in-flight loss of control of the airplane due to the windmilling propeller. Factors in the accident were the failure of the propeller control bracket assembly due to fatigue, the pilot's lack of experience in the type of airplane (turbo propeller) and the absence of a procedure for loss of propeller control in the airplane's flight manual.
