THE PLT SAID HE WAS SPREADING RICE WHEN HE NOTICED THE OIL PRESSURE WAS DECREASING & THE PROP WAS BEGINNING TO FEATHER. WITH NO OTHER PLACE TO GO, HE LANDED IN A PLOWED FIELD. SHORTLY AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE ACFT NOSED OVER TO AN INVERTED POSITION. AN EXAM REVEALED THAT A LOSS OF OIL & OIL PRESSURE WAS DUE TO A CRACK IN THE OIL COOLER.
