## 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

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of engine power, approach - vfr pattern - final approach
  - reason for occurrence undetermined (cause)
- Forced landing, descent - emergency
- In flight collision with terrain/water, descent - emergency
  - terrain condition - none suitable (contributing factor)

## 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.

## FAA reports on this event (1)

The FAA's own accident and incident reports, matched to the aircraft by N-number and date (OpenAirDocs).

- [Accident 19940319014039A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19940319014039A), Mar 19, 1994: Cessna T210L, Haskell, OK, Substantial damage. Engine quit on short final. Impacted just short of runway. No engine anomalies. Possible fuel exhaustion.

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
