I searched the NTSB database for all Diamond and got 143 hits. Of those 5 were for NG (40 and 42) and 2 were for partial power loss. The other three were a hard landing, runway excursion and taxiing collision; pure pilot error. No fatals in the 5 NGs.Rich wrote:NTSB accident reports, ASN wiki, and the FAA Accident/Incident reports. No reports at all for anything but the NG, for which there are several, where power loss is a factor. That's why it's sketchy.Boatguy wrote: I like facts, but if “sketchy evidence” is all we have, let’s hear it. Please expand on your assertion regarding the NG.
Edit: It appears there is now 1 (quite recent) M1A power loss in the NTSB accident DB.
Both power loss reported ECU failures, but I'm not sure if that's a cause or symptom.
There were 138 other Diamond accidents that were not NG. I did not view them all to see the causes, but within 138 it seems likely that more than 2 were power related which seems to contradict your assertion that the NG is the "leader in power failures".
Not saying it can't happen, just not sure the NG is the leader.
