Recent Watson Michael A VELOCITY ELITE RG accidents
A total loss of engine power during cruise flight for undetermined reasons.
A failure of the propeller pitch change electric motor, which resulted in an improper setting for takeoff and a subsequent runway overrun. Also causal was the inadequate maintenance and inspection of the propeller system and the pilot’s failure to follow the propeller manufacturer’s pretakeoff guidance, which would have indicated that the propeller was not in the takeoff position. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s decision to depart with a tailwind.
