The engines stopped because of a short in the magneto switch which dead cut the engines. It was an old style switch..
I would sure like to find out more about this as I think this may have been the cause of Doug Lacy's PV-2 crash at Clear Lake years ago. I wonder exactly which mag switch this was and if it was a part of the Briggs AD.
Besides the online summary of the accident do you know where I might find a more detailed report on the post crash mag switch testing or how to correspond with those that might have been involved with the investigation?
Thanks in advance for any help.
