NTSB accident and incident record under N52TH
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Hastings Thomas G CIRRUS VK 30 · serial 143
The driveshaft fracture due to overstress loading and rotational bending as a result of the under-torqued nuts on the elastomeric couplings backing off and the subsequent in-flight separation of the horizontal fairing due to contact with the separated end of the driveshaft, which led to a loss of control. Contributing to the accident was inadequate maintenance.
