DURING TAKEOFF FROM A TOUCH-AND-GO LANDING, THE ENGINE WENT TO ABOUT IDLE POWER. DURING A FORCED LANDING, THE LEFT WING AND NOSE COLLIDED WITH TREES. REPORTEDLY, THE ENGINE STARTED DEVELOPING FULL POWER JUST AS THE AIRCRAFT COLLIDED WITH TREES. NO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS OR FAILURES WERE VERIFIED.
These match the airframe or engine model. Whether each one applies, and whether it's been complied with, depends on serial numbers, equipment and logbook entries. Applicability must be confirmed by a mechanic against the aircraft's records.
No ADs published since 1998 matched this airframe or engine model.
