ACFT ENGINE FAILED WHILE ON FINAL APPROACH TO THE ARPT, AND THE PILOT MADE AN EMERGENCY LANDING AT 5TH AND RIVERSIDE. (.19) ON NOVEMBER 10, 1998, APPROXIMATELY 1345 CENTRAL STANDARD TIME, A BEECH 35-C33 AIRPLANE, N24TH, WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED DURING A FORCED LANDING FOLLOWING A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER NEAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA. THE COMMERCIAL PILOT RECEIVED SERIOUS INJURIES AND HIS THREE PASSENGERS RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AND A FLIGHT PLAN WAS NOT FILED FOR THE TITLE 14 CFR PART 91 PERSONAL FLIGHT. THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED RROM THE RICHARD LLOYD JONES JR. AIRPORT NEAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA AT 1330, AND WAS DESTINED FOR KANSAS CITY, KANSAS. THE AIRPLANE WAS REGISTERED TO A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL AND OPERATED BY THE PILOT. DURING A TELEPHONE INTERVIEW CONDUCTED BY THE INVESTIGATOR-IN-CHARGE, THE PILOT STATED THAT DURING THE CRUISE CLIMB, "THE ENGINE STARTED TO VIBRATE AND THE ENGINE RPM EXCEEDED ITS LIMITS." HE THEN ATTEMPTED TO REDUCE THE ENGINE RPM WITH THE PROPELLER CONTROL AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE THROTTLE; HOWEVER, THE ENGINE "QUIT." DURING THE FORCED LANDING, THE AIRPLANE IMPACTED A ROAD MEDIAN AND TREES.                                                    EXAMINATION OF THE AIRCRAFT BY A FAA INSPECTOR REVEALED THAT THE NOSE AND LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR SEPARATED FROM THE AIRPLANE. THE FORWARD FUSELAGE WAS BENT DOWN, THE FIRE WALL WAS BUCKLED, AND BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT WING LEADING EDGE WERE DAMAGED. (-23) SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF FROM RL JONES, JR., AIRPORT (RVS), THE AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED ENGINE PROBLEMS. THE PILOT ATTEMPTED TO RETURN TO THE AIRPORT. THE ENGINE FAILED AND AIRCRAFT MADE A FORCED LANDING IN THE CENTER MEDIAN OF RIVERSIDE DRIVE, APPROXIMATELY TWO MILES NORTH OF THE AIRPORT.
