The non-certificated mechanic’s failure to properly tighten and torque the fuel system pressure test port cap, which resulted in a total loss of engine power, and a subsequent forced landing.
The pilot’s loss of airplane control in flight due to spatial disorientation during a climb to cruise altitude in instrument meteorological conditions and turbulence, which resulted in the in-flight breakup of the airplane. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s continued flight into an area of known convective activity.
The pilot’s failure to activate the pitot heat in a timely manner during flight into icing conditions, which resulted in a temporary failure of the flight instruments and a subsequent loss of control.
