Oklahoma MU-2B Accident – A Mishandled Engine Out

On top of what is fact, having engine failure on first solo flight is just plain bad luck.
Especially on final
After several trips through the report, the feeling I came away with was that the NTSB and investigation board were strongly suspicious of a switch position error that may have resulted in the inadvertent shutdown of the left engine. "Extensive testing of the engines and propellers revealed no evidence of pre-impact malfunctions". Also from the report, "In its analysis, the Safety Board said, “Examination of the left engine showed the fuel shutoff valve was in the closed position, consistent with the engine being in an inoperative condition". All this in close proximity to the outer marker. Not so sure luck was the culprit, but as this is the final report, all else is unknown and ultimately unknowable. Again, a right seat containing some knowledge and experience in type is much more valuable than an empty one.
That certainly could be the case. There is always a learning curve with different equipment. In the reverse we have seen airline captains bite the dust in a Cessna.
I agree with you 100%. A while ago a colleague lost his life flying an MU2 Marquise.
You are so correct about the V tail Bonanza. A friend doctor bought one. I tried many times
to convince him to get out of it. Finally he sold it and bought a nice Bonanza.
Nobody can explain it as well as you. Have fun flying.

Was not the airplane was the pilot as for some reason they seemed to think the Bonanza was the thing to have. Just like any other high performance AC you need skill to fly them and many didn't have enough but thought they did. Straight tails were no better either as many of them went in also.
