Read the full NTSB narrative

A LOSS OF PWR OCCURRED SHORTLY BEFORE TOUCHDOWN. THE LEFT SKID STRUCK A ROCK DURING TOUCHDOWN CAUSING THE ACFT TO ROLL ONTO ITS RIGHT SIDE. TWENTY-FIVE FLT HRS PRIOR TO THIS FLT AN IDENTICAL SITUATION OCCURRED AND A LOOSE AIR LINE TO THE FUEL CONTROL WAS FOUND. ALTHOUGH NO SPECIFIC REASON COULD BE DETERMINED FOR THIS LOSS OF PWR, A SPLIT 'O' RING TO THE GOVERNOR OF THE PY ORIFICE WAS DISCOVERED WHICH COULD ACCOUNT FOR THE PARTIAL PWR LOSS.
