A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for a forced landing. ## Sequence of events In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf). - Loss of engine power, go-around (vfr) - reason for occurrence undetermined (cause) - Forced landing, emergency landing - On ground/water collision with object, landing - roll - terrain condition - none suitable (contributing factor) - object - other ## Analysis During the landing approach, the pilot realized the airplane was high and 'started a go around, obtaining partial power.' When he added additional power, the engine 'stalled.' A forced landing was made on the airport. The airplane crossed a taxiway and struck a stockpile of building material. Following the accident, the engine was started and ran 'normally.' ## Factual narrative On July 21, 1996, at 1300 central daylight time, a Cessna 182A, N2182G, registered to and operated by a private owner under Title 14 CFR Part 91, was substantially damaged during a forced landing following a loss of engine power near Skiatook, Oklahoma. The commercial pilot, the sole occupant of the airplane, was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and a flight plan was not filed for the local parachuting flight which originated at 1200. The pilot reported that, when he realized his approach to land at Skiatook Municipal Airport was high, he "started a go around, obtaining partial power." Approximately 250 to 300 feet AGL, he added "additional power, [and] the engine stalled." The pilot landed the airplane in an "open area on the airport." During the landing roll, the airplane crossed a taxiway and struck a stockpile of building material. The landing gear, fuselage, and engine firewall sustained damage. Following the accident, the engine was started and run-up in the presence of an FAA inspector who reported that it ran "normally." ## Aircraft - Registration: [N2182G](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N2182G), registered now, S/N 51482 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: Cessna 182A - Registry model: [Cessna 182A](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182a) (registry code 2072704) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Continental O-470-L](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-o-470-l) (registry code 17374, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 51482 - Airframe hours: 4370 - Engines: Continental O-470-M 230 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Part 91 - Registered owner: Adam Ramsey - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: 100 hour, July 16, 1996, 40 hours before - Departed: 2F6 - Airport: 2F6, Skiatook Municipal, runway 17, 2,900 × 60 ft, asphalt ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
