| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot was on approach to a private airstrip when the engine began to run rough. During the forced landing to rough terrain the airplane sustained substantial damage to the wings and the fuselage.
After the accident the pilot stated that he suspected an uncommanded feather of the right propeller blade due to a maintenance issue. An examination of the airframe, engine, and propeller revealed no mechanical anomalies that would have precluded normal operations.
According to the icing probability chart contained within Federal Aviation Administration Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin CE-09-35, atmospheric conditions at the time of the accident were conducive for serious icing at glide power, which could result in a loss of power and/or a rough running engine. It is unknown if the engine was at glide power or if the pilot had selected to use carburetor heat.
Probable Cause: The loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
