Analysis
Approximately 18 miles west of the Fort Lauderdale airport, while cruising at 7500 feet, the engine lost power. After advising the tower of the problem, ATC suggested attempting a landing at a closer airport. At this point the pilot stated that power had been regained and he would prefer to land at his original destination. The aircraft landed in a field about 1 mile west of Fort Lauderdale airport receiving substantial damage. Investigation revealed that the pilot had made a precautionary landing the day before due to intermittent engine problems and that no action was taken to correct the problem before departure the following day.
