NTSB Reports is an independent research and search tool for public aviation accident and incident records. It brings NTSB aviation reports, structured fields, docket files, extracted figures, photos, videos, and update history into one searchable interface.
The goal is practical safety education: make it faster to find relevant investigations, compare similar events, review factual records, and understand the evidence behind probable-cause and preliminary reports.

Edgewood, NM
DURING THE FIRST FLIGHT FOLLOWING AN ANNUAL INSPECTION, A TOTAL LOSS OF RIGHT ENGINE POWER OCCURRED. WHILE IN THE INITIAL CLIMB AT APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET AGL AND 100 MILES PER HOUR, THE AIRPLANE WOULD NOT CLEAR RISING TERRAIN. DURING THE FORCED LANDING THE AIRPLANE CLEARED A HIGHLINE AND CAME TO REST ON SLOPING TERRAIN. EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINE REVEALED THE MAGNETO GROUNDING LEADS HAD NOT BEEN SECURED DURING THE ANNUAL INSPECTION.
POWER LOSS TO THE RIGHT ENGINE DUE TO THE MAGNETO GROUNDING LEADS BEING LOOSE AND AN INADEQUATE ANNUAL INSPECTION. A FACTOR WAS A LACK OF SUITABLE TERRAIN.
On June 10, 1993, at approximately 1845 mountain daylight time, a Beech 95-A55, N8606M, sustained substantial damage near Edgewood, New Mexico, during a forced landing following a loss of right engine power. The commercial pilot and one passenger did not sustain injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the cross country flight. The pilot reported the following information to the Safety Board. The airplane was being flown for the first time following the annual inspection. During the initial takeoff climb from runway 27 at the Edgewood, New Mexico, airport when the gear was raised a total loss of right engine power occurred. At approximately 50 feet above the ground and an airspeed of 100 miles per hour, the airplane would not maintain altitude to clear the surrounding terrain. During the forced landing, the airplane cleared a highline and landed, with the gear retracted, on sloping terrain. An examination of the engine by the Federal Aviation Administration inspector, statement enclosed, revealed that the magneto grounding leads for the right engine had not been secured during the annual inspection. This was the first flight after the annual inspection. The airplane was released to the owner following the investigation.
