Probable cause
Was the loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
During final approach the aircraft lost engine power after the pilot had reduced power for landing. An examination of the aircraft revealed fuel in the fuel manifold and associated lines. The aircraft impacted a 1/2 mile from the end of the runway. There was no suitable terrain for the landing.
Factual narrative
On March 19, 1994, at 1759 central standard time, a Cessna 210L, N8145L, was substantially damaged during a forced landing near Haskell, Oklahoma. The private pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the business flight.
In an interview with a Federal Aviation Administration inspector, the pilot reported that the aircraft experienced a loss of engine power at 200 feet above ground level on final approach to Haskell Airport. The aircraft then impacted the ground in a field one- half mile north of runway. He further reported that he had just reduced power for landing when the power loss occurred.
A review of the refueling records indicated that the pilot had purchased 20 gallons of fuel prior to take off and had flown 1 hour and 40 minutes.
An examination of the aircraft revealed that there was fuel in the fuel manifold and lines. No discrepancies were found that would account for the loss of engine power.
The aircraft was released to the owners representative.
