mvsgas Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) The Accident Investigation Board President found by a preponderance of evidence the cause of this mishap was the incorrect assembly of the main engine control (MEC) differential pressure pilot valve, which was missing a required 600-degree retaining ring and the anti-rotation pin. The misassembled differential pressure pilot valve caused the MEC to malfunction and to incorrectly meter abnormally high fuel flow to the engine. The uncontrolled engine operation caused severe engine overspeed, severe engine over-temperature, and engine fire, which resulted in a catastrophic engine failure. A substantially contributing factor to the mishap was the 552d Commodities Maintenance Squadron, MEC Overhaul Shop, Oklahoma City, Air Logistics Complex, lack of an adequate procedural requirement for MEC parts accountability.
