NTSB accident and incident record under N431DL

LAX04FA042Accident on November 13, 2003 at Blk Canyon City, AZ: fatal, destroyed (1 fatal).

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Cessna 177RG · serial 177RG0762

a loss of engine power due to the failure of the single-drive dual magneto that resulted from inadequate lubrication of the breaker cam. Also causal was the improper maintenance by other maintenance personnel during a recent inspection, which should have detected the lubrication deficiency. A contributing factor in the accident that likely exacerbated the pilot's injuries was his decision not to wear the installed shoulder harness.
