On May 11, 2023, about 1915 central daylight time, a Piper PA-28-180, N1347T, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Selma, Alabama. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported that about 1 hour into his flight from Pell City to Monroeville, Alabama, the airplane engine “slow(ed) to what appeared to be an idle power setting.” He attempted to restore engine power; however, the engine did not regain power. The airplane continued to descend, and the pilot attempted a forced landing to a field; however, the airplane impacted an area of pine trees before the field.
Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed substantial damage to the wings, fuselage, and empennage.
The airplane was retained for further examination.
