Hawker HAWKER HNTR FMK 58 N323AX accident near Honolulu, Hawaii

Probable cause

A total loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.

NTSB analysis

The pilot reported that he experienced a loss of engine power at or below 500 ft above ground level during departure turnout from the runway. The pilot attempted to restart the engine, but the airspeed continued to decay, and he ejected. The airplane then impacted the water and became submerged in the ocean about 2.86 nautical miles southeast from the departure end of the runway in an area with a water depth of about 250 ft.

Postaccident examination of the recovered wreckage revealed that all recovered components were fully functional at the time of the accident. Because the rest of the wreckage was not recovered and could not be examined, the reason for the loss of engine power could not be determined.
