Aviation
in itself is not inherently dangerous.
But
to an even greater
degree than
the sea,
it
is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness,
incapacity
or neglect."

Final Report
Engine Mishap N1174X
Wallace, NC
11 Dec 2014Slide6
Recommendations
The seized engine removed from N1174X should be replaced with a true “zero time”
engine
All
engines installed in aircraft operated by
PRNFC should
be inspected as soon as practical by an
independent experienced mechanic for
similar issues to this
engine and addressed
At
50 and 100 hour inspections, in addition to annual inspections,
special
attention should be placed on engine
health
All
aircraft should participate in an Oil Analysis
Program
Pilots
should be aware of observable aspects of engine
performance and report these as soon as possible to the Maintenance Officer in addition to writing detailed remarks in the aircraft discrepancy book
