Key Takeaways:

  • Mechanical failures include a cracked propeller hub, a massive oil leak, and an out-of-balance propeller causing excessive vibration.
  • Performance issues arose from an incorrectly pitched propeller, leading to engine overspeeding.
  • Control system malfunctions resulted in uncommanded feathering during takeoff, failure to unfeather, and propellers feathering prematurely at shutdown.
