Accident & incident history

Reported aircraft: Grumman US-2C — a different aircraft that carried the N7046U registration before this airframe.

Probable cause: the flying pilot's failure to maintain directional control following a loss of engine power. Also causal was the failure of the flight crew to follow the published checklist and use the rudder assist system, and the decision not to abort the takeoff.
