Recent Grumman G-164A accidents
The reported loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
Total loss of engine power during the agricultural application flight for reasons that could not be determined.
The improper overhaul of the carburetor and the malfunction of left magneto which resulted in a partial loss of engine power.
The pilot’s failure to set the engine speed control fully forward during takeoff, resulting in an engine surge and subsequent loss of control during landing.
A partial loss of engine power due to the failure of two compressor turbine blades as a result of the engine operating near or above the engine’s operating limits for an undetermined amount of time beyond the recommended engine’s TBO limit, which led to material creep and overload failure.
The loss of two securing bolts that allowed the left magneto to move around, which disrupted the spark timing and resulted in the engine losing total power.
A partial loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examination of the engine did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
The pilot's decision to land the airplane with a tailwind and his subsequent application of excessive braking, which resulted in a nose-over.
