Correct

The first report had nothing to do with the IMCr nor with the conditions... they were merely a casual factor

The engine gradually lost power over a short time masked by the CSU for a short while and the AP making trim adjustments.. when the stall occured the AP tripped out with full aft trim and the engine failed at around the same time... they did also find metal in the oil however were unable at the time to pinpoint where it had come from as well as being unable to determine the exact cause of the failure itself

Those who know early moonies well will know of its tendency to drop the left wing in the stall and its eagerness to develop into a spin if not corrected at the right time.....

Needless to say if indeed this accident is being tied to the IMCr as a cause/reason it is utter tosh!
