On September 30, 2021, about 1330 eastern daylight time, a Boeing E75, N1654M, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Nicholson, Pennsylvania. The pilot and pilot-rated passenger were not injured.
According to the pilot, while the airplane was at an altitude of 3,500 ft, the engine suddenly lost total power. He adjusted the throttle, mixture control, fuel valve controls, and carburetor heat, but the engine would not restart. Shortly afterward, the pilot noticed a strong smell of fuel. He then flew the airplane toward a nearby private airstrip. While setting up an approach to the runway, the pilot determined that the airplane would not reach the airstrip and performed a forced landing into trees that bordered the airport property,which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage and wings.
Probable Cause and Findings
A total loss of engine power as a result of damaged internal carburetor mixture control components.
