| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The private pilot stated that he flew the airplane earlier in the day with no engine anomalies noted. During the return flight at 2,000 ft above ground level, the cylinder head temperature (CHT) on one of the engine’s cylinders was higher than normal. He reduced engine power and the CHT decreased, then later increased again. He subsequently heard a loud “bang” from the engine, and the airplane and engine both shuddered. He reduced the throttle to idle and made a forced landing in a bean field. During the landing roll, the nose wheel collapsed in the mud and the airplane nosed over.
A postaccident exterior examination of the engine did not reveal any abnormalities. The airplane was not made available for examination during the course of the investigation; therefore, the reason for the loss of engine power could not be determined.
Probable Cause: A loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined because the airplane was not available for examination.
