Narrative:The Cirrus SR-22 aircraft VT-VDN was involved in a forced landing at Eradikera, Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh at about 04:00 UTC.
While the aircraft was approximately at 45 NM from the destination airport, the pilot felt roughness in the engine and simultaneously, observed fuel seepage from the top engine cowling. The pilot checked all engine parameters and found these within limits. However, he observed that the fuel gush along with the engine roughness increased as the aircraft attempted to climb. Thereafter, he decided to carry out a forced landing.
After identifying a suitable plain area and assessing its surroundings, the pilot executed the forced landing. The aircraft touched down on its main landing gears and rolled for approximately 1013 feet before coming to a halt.
Probable Cause of the Incident
The incident was caused by fuel leakage from the factory fitted blanking nut installed on the fuel divider unit of the Engine.
