NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn June 10, 2019, about 1020 central daylight time, a Cessna 425 airplane, N622MM, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Butler, Missouri. The private pilot sustained fatal injuries. The cross-country flight was conducted under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. The flight originated about 0554 eastern daylight time from Vero Beach Municipal Airport, Vero Beach, Florida, and its planned destination was New Century Airport (IXD), Olathe, Kansas. After an uneventful 970-mile flight, the pilot initiated a descent to IXD and was in direct communication with air traffic control (ATC). About 1004 central daylight time (all times from this point forward are central daylight time), the pilot told the radar controller that he had a “major problem” and could not retard the right engine throttle. Shortly afterward, the controller instructed the pilot to change frequencies to another radar controller. At 1008:32, the controller told the pilot that he was observing the airplane climbing and descending and acknowledged that the pilot was having engine trouble. The pilot advised the controller that he was going to have to shut down the right engine while it was at full power. The controller then asked the pilot if the airplane could make IXD. The pilot responded that he could make the airport but that he might have to shut down the engine on final approach. At 1011:54, the pilot reported that he was operating the airplane with one engine. At 1013:40, the pilot requested the nearest airport, and the controller advised the pilot
Probable cause
The pilot’s loss of airplane control during a descent to a diversion airport with only the left engine operating. Contributing to the accident was a malfunction of the right engine throttle, the cause of which could not be determined.
