On May 17, 2023, about 1700 eastern daylight time, an experimental amateur-built Burril BDB001, N191CK, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Ansonville, North Carolina. The private pilot had minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported the following that he departed from Anson County Airport (AFP), Wadesboro, North Carolina for Foothills Regional Airport (MRN), Morganton, North Carolina with 30 gallons of fuel on board. About 30 minutes into the flight, at 3,400 ft mean sea level, the electric fuel pump light extinguished, meaning that the selected pump was not operating. The engine subsequently lost all power. He turned around, changed to the other fuel pump, and the engine restarted. About 6-7 minutes later, the fuel pump light extinguished again, followed by another total loss of engine power. He maneuvered to a nearby field for a forced landing; however, one of the main landing gear struck a tree and the airplane spun to the ground. The wreckage came to rest inverted in a wooded area, and there was no fire.
The airplane was equipped with a Chevrolet LS3 376 Corvette engine. The pilot designed the fuel system and built the airplane.
The wreckage was retained for further examination.
