front alternator inop

[PierreR]

I did experience a total front engine failure 40 minutes into a flight right after having the front alternator replaced. All of a sudden the engine feathered on me, the fuel flow dropped to 7 gph, the rpms dropped to 1000 and the oil pressure read zero. A few of those parts you talk about dropped straight into the oil pump.

Conditions were full winter at 11,000 feet on top a solid overcast. Flew 40 miles to the nearest repair facility. Was 10 pm at night. Wish we had the internet 20 year ago.
