Does anyone know whether this aircraft was an electronic ignition aircraft?
I read the preliminary NTSB report and the survivor interview where she
stated that the engine went silent and the electronics failed immediately
thereafter?

NTSB Identification: WPR14FA218
14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Saturday, May 31, 2014 in Toldeo, OR
Aircraft: NEBERT VANS RV-10, registration: N62DN
Injuries: 2 Fatal,1 Serious.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors.
Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been
completed. NTSB investigators either traveled in support of this
investigation or conducted a significant amount of investigative work
without any travel, and used data obtained from various sources to prepare
this aircraft accident report.
On May 31, 2014, about 1620 Pacific daylight time, a single-engine
experimental Nebert Vans RV-10, N62DN, experienced a loss of power and
departed control flight while the pilot was maneuvering for a forced landing
in Toledo, Oregon. The private pilot and four-year old passenger were
fatally injured; the adult passenger sustained serious injuries. The
airplane was registered to and being operated by the pilot under the
provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. The personal flight
departed Newport Municipal Airport, Newport, Oregon with a planned
destination of Seattle, Washington. Visual meteorological conditions
prevailed and no flight plan had been filed.
Numerous witnesses located in Toledo reported observing the airplane flying
at a low altitude from the north. The witnesses reported hearing no sound
from the airplane's engine and saw it progressively descend in altitude. The
airplane approached the Georgia Pacific paper mill and made a steep turn to
the left. The airplane subsequently made a rapid descent and impacted
terrain in a nose-low near-vertical attitude.
The surviving passenger recalled the flight although was heavily medicated
during the recounting of the events that transpired. She stated that she was
in the aft right seat and her daughter was buckled in a car seat positioned
in the aft left seat. Luggage was strapped in the front right seat in an
effort to compensate for the aft weight. The departure seemed normal and the
pilot commented that the engine sounded the best ever had prior. The
airplane continued the takeoff climb through some cloud wisps and ascended
above a lower cloud cover, with an overcast layer above.
The passenger further stated that suddenly the engine experienced a total
loss of power, which she described as the airplane stopping forward motion
and there was no engine sound. An alarm sounded and shortly thereafter, all
of the airplane electric system failed. She recalled observing the screen in
front of the pilot flickered and then went blank. The pilot was busy
pressing buttons and maneuvering levers and indicated that they were going
to land at the closest airport [which was Toledo]. The airplane descended
through clouds heading toward the airport. The pilot stated that they were
going to make it to the airport and he was looking for a place to land. The
airplane made an alert sound, which she thought indicated the airplane was
moving too slow. The pilot made a left turn and tried to pull up but the
airplane spiraled down harder to the ground.
The accident site was located in the paper mill adjacent to the Yaquina
River in Toledo, Oregon, with the debris confined to the immediate area near
the main wreckage. The closest airport to the accident was in Toledo, Oregon
and was located 0.7 nm for the accident site on a heading of 192-degrees.
The wreckage came to rest in a flat area which was a portion of dirt road on
the perimeter of the mill. Surrounding the site were 20 ft high stacked
bales of crushed cardboard boxes and a railroad track with parked train
cars. Additionally, a northwest-southeast oriented 12 ft-diameter tubular
conveyer was near the accident site that was about 70 feet high and 1,625 ft
long.
The main wreckage, which consisted of nearly the entire airplane, was on a
heading of 310 degrees. The initial point of impact consisted of a ground
scar and disrupted dirt located about 25 feet and on the bearing of 220
degree from the cockpit section of the main wreckage. Embedded in the dirt
were fragments of red lens and shards of paint and fiberglass, consistent
with the left wing impacting first.
