On October 22, 2023, about 1515 eastern daylight time, a Piper PA-24-250 airplane, N6757P, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Ottawa, Ohio. The private pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported that he was performing a cross-country flight from Tuscaloosa National Airport (TCL), Tuscaloosa, Alabama to Lebanon Municipal Airport (M54), Lebanon, Tennessee. About one hour into the flight, at 3,500 ft mean sea level, there was a “sudden severe engine vibration and loss of power.” He retarded the throttle in an attempt to reduce the engine vibration. He then elected to land the airplane in a soybean field since he was unsure if he would clear a large, forested area between where he was and the next closest airport. After touchdown in the soybean field, the nose landing gear struck a ditch, separated, and the airplane nosed over, coming to rest inverted. He called 911 and was met by first responders.
An inspector with the Federal Aviation Administration responded to the accident site and examined the wreckage. The wreckage was found upright, in the cornfield. There was no fire. The fuselage and wings were substantially damaged.
The wreckage was retained for further examination.
