    The aircraft experienced engine failure after takeoff due to separation of the cylinder head from the barrel, which resulted in a forced landing. The investigation determined the probable cause was a material failure of the engine. Contributing factors included the pilot not adhering to temperature limitations and the lack of inspection of the cylinder head in pre/post flight checklists. Safety recommendations include ensuring adherence to engine operating instructions and incorporating cylinder head inspections into checklists.

    Phase of Flight : Climb

    Type of Accident : Forced landing due to engine failure

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    In the morning of February 23, 2016, after the maintenance personnel completed his pre-
    flight inspection on the Grumman Ag Cat G164A registered as RP-R3026, the Pilot
    taxied the aircraft to the chemical loading bay in preparation for the spraying activity of
    the day. The aircraft took-off at about 0600H and made seven (7) spraying sorties prior
    to the accident. Thereafter at 0731H an after completing its 8th load of chemicals, the
    pilot took-off utilizing runway 36. Upon airborne, the pilot commenced a right turn
    proceeding towards the spraying area. While passing 150 feet AGL, the pilot heard a
    loud pop sound coming from the engine followed by engine vibration and decreasing
    RPM. The pilot immediately dumped the chemicals and initiated a left base turn to re-
    land via runway 18. However, due to its unsafe altitude and decreasing airspeed, the
    aircraft may not able to make a safe landing so the pilot opted to force land the aircraft at
    the right side of RWY 18 abeam the threshold and settled approximately 32 meters from
    the runway shoulder heading 240 degrees and almost perpendicular to the runway.

    The aircraft sustained substantial damage to the airframe, wings, engine, propeller and
    spray equipment. The pilot who was the sole occupant was able to escape uninjured. No
    post crash fire ensued after the impact. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the
    time of the accident.

    PROBABLE CAUSE

    The Aircraft Accident Investigation and Inquiry Board determined that the probable
    cause of this accident were:

     Primary Cause Factor

    Separation of cylinder head from cylinder barrel that subsequently resulted to loss of
    engine power. (Material failure)

     Contributory Factors

    Non adherence by the pilot to the General Operating Instructions (Vol 1) for R-985
    engines prescribing the specific temperature limitations.

     Underlying Cause

    The pre-flight checklist and post flight checklist do not include visual inspection on
    the area of the cylinder head cooling fins for exhaust emmission stains and exhaust
    carbon deposits.

    SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

    As a result of this investigation, the Aircraft Accident Investigation and Inquiry Board
    made the following safety recommendations:

     CAAP-FSIS to ensure adherence by the operator to the General Operating


    Instructions for a R-985 engines on the specific temperature limitations to reduce if
    not eliminate the problems related to cylinder head separation in the future.

     CAAP-FSIS to ensure that the operator incorporates in their pre-flight checklist and
    post flight checklist visual inspection on the area of the cylinder head cooling fins for
    exhaust emmission stains and exhaust carbon deposits.
