Mitsubishi MU-2B-25, Hillsboro, Ore., May 24, 2005–The NTSB found that the probable cause of the accident was the pilot’s failure to obtain minimum controllable airspeed during the takeoff climb, which resulted in a loss of aircraft control when the left engine suffered a partial loss of power. Factors were a fatigue failure in an oil tube, which resulted in the partial power loss to the left engine, the pilot’s failure to follow procedures/directives and his lack of recent experience and recurrent training in type.

The Max Aviation MU-2 crashed soon after takeoff from Portland-Hillsboro Airport. Conditions were VFR. The commercial pilot and three passengers were killed and the aircraft substantially damaged.
