  Comments
Engines Comments: Both engines were dislocated from their mounts, but the right engine remained attached to its nacelle by oil lines. One blade from the right propeller was separated at the hub. That blade exhibited severe tip curling and burnishing of the blade face. Disassembly and internal examination of the engines revealed that they both exhibited similar circumferential rubbing and machining of their respective compressor turbines, compressor turbine shrouds, power turbine guide vane rings, interstage baffles, power turbines, and power turbine shrouds.
Equipment Comments: Nose section of aircraft sustained substantial damage due to "nose dive" impact with ground. Nose and cockpit area destroyed.
Description of Accident: On June 18, 2008, the subject aircraft departed the Barnstable Municipal Airport with 210 lbs of UPS cargo. Approximately 200 feet into the air after departure the aircraft began to roll left. Witnesses reported that the aircraft turned approximately 180 degrees around and then came straight down at the end of Runway 24. The plane came to rest, its nose crumpled and tail broken about 200 feet from the runway.
Description of Damage: The nose and cockpit area exhibited significant crush damage, but the remainder of the fuselage aft of the cockpit bulkhead remained largely intact. Both wings were separated from the fuselage at their respective roots, while the empennage was separated just forward of the horizontal stabilizer. Both wings and the empennage remained attached to the fuselage by control cables. The right wing exhibited leading edge crush damage along the outermost 1/3 of its span, while the left wing exhibited leading edge crush damage along the outermost 1/5 of its span.
LogBooks Comment: Logbooks are with the aircraft.
Remarks: Inspection of weckage highly recommended.
