Recent Enstrom F-28F accidents
An impact with terrain for undetermined reasons.
A loss of drive to the rotor system due to the disengagement of the main belt drive tensioning system, which resulted in a forced landing. The disengagement was due to inadequate clearance between the clutch handle and the roll pin in the handle bellcrank when the handle was in the stowed position.
An internal failure of the turbo-compressor, which resulted in oil leaking into the turbo-compressor’s exhaust.
The pilot’s improper fuel management, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion and subsequent impact with terrain.
A loss of engine power due to the malfunction of the No. 4 cylinder intake valve.
A total loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examination of the airframe and engine did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
