I read an accident report yesterday of a 2019 crash of a twin engine light commuter aircraft (10 people) The report stated that just after takeoff the aircraft lost power to the left engine, the pilot put in left rudder (the wrong way) and a few seconds later corrected himself and applied right rudder, sadly by then it was too late and the plane crashed inverted into a hanger.
The report went on the say the experienced crew didn't do any of the prefilght or takeoff checklists, nor did they discuss and plan for an engine failure or any other emergency on takeoff. The engine had no faults that could be found after the crash. The aircraft is however known to suffer from the power levers closing on their own if the fricton locks are not ajusted properly and checked.... something the preflight checklist includes..... there were no survivors.
