NTSB accident and incident record under N32409

LAX99FA261Accident on August 2, 1999 at Johnson Valley, CA: fatal, destroyed (1 fatal).

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Porterfield CP-65 · serial 839

The failure of the pilot to maintain adequate airspeed while attempting to make a precautionary landing, which resulted in a stall/spin and collision with the terrain. A factor in his failure to maintain an adequate airspeed is the pilot's likely diverted attention to the oil loss problem and pending engine failure. An additional factor is the pilot/mechanic's improper installation of an unapproved oil hose, which ruptured under pressure.
