Probable Cause Published on Inhofe Accident
Investigation showed no evidence of pre-impact structural, engine or system failures.

Dr. Perry Inhofe, the pilot of a Mitsubishi MU-2B that crashed on November 13 last year while on approach to Tulsa International Airport, lost control of the aircraft after failing to manage a one-engine-inoperative situation, according to a report by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The MU-2 was not equipped with a flight data recorder and was not required to be. NTSB investigators were able to determine that the airplane was certified, equipped and maintained in accordance with federal regulations. They also found that the recovered airplane components showed no evidence of any pre-impact structural, engine or system failures.
