Airport 3S8
Aircraft involved
Probable cause & findings
The partial loss of engine power for undertermined reasons, resulting in a forced landing and substantial damage to the airplane. A contributing factor was the transmission wire.
Factual narrative
The pilot reported that he was doing multiple high-speed taxis on Runway 30/12 when the airplane became airborne. After becoming airborne off of Runway 30 and veering to the left, the pilot added power in an attempt to bring the airplane back over the runway. However, as he neared the end of the runway and realizing that he didn't have room to land, he initiated a go-around. The pilot stated that after reaching traffic pattern altitude (left hand traffic for Runway 30) and noticing a high exhaust gas temperature reading, he throttled back to aid in engine cooling. Continuing in the traffic pattern at reduced power and in a left turn to Runway 30, the pilot subsequently realized that he wasn't in the proper position to make the runway. The pilot stated that he elected to cross the end of Runway 30 heading east and then make a wide right turn back to the runway. The pilot reported that during the right turn he observed an excessive altitude loss, necessitating a return to full power, but when full power was not fully restored he located a field at the end of the runway for an emergency landing. The pilot stated that on his approach to the field the airplane impacted power lines, which subsequently resulted in substantial damage to the aircraft after coming to rest upright in a parking lot. During a high speed taxi test the airplane became airborne, subsequently veering too far to the left and too far down the runway to allow the pilot to land. The pilot added full power and initiated a go-around, intending to make left hand traffic back to the runway. While in the pattern and observing and excessive EGT, the pilot reduced power, but in doing so he was unable to complete the turn back to the airport. The pilot elected to over fly the end of the runway and make a right turn back to the airport, but during the right turn he noticed a loss of altitude. The pilot then added full power, but as the engine was not responsive he chose to land in a field south of the runway. During the emergency landing the airplane impacted power lines, coming to rest upright in a parking lot adjacent to the airport.
