Read the full NTSB narrative
THE ACFT DEVELOPED A SMALL OIL LEAK DURING A X-COUNTRY FLT. THE PLT REDUCED POWER TO IDLE TO CONSERVE OIL EVEN THOUGH THE OIL PRESSURE WAS STILL IN THE NORMAL RANGE. DURING THE DESCENT THE ACFTS AIRSPEED WAS NOT MAINTAINED AND THE ACFT CONTACTED THE GROUND IN A STEEP NOSE DOWN ATTITUDE AFTER STALLING WITH THE POWER STILL RETARDED TO IDLE. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE OIL LEAK WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO INTERFERE WITH NORMAL OPERATIONS.
