On July 1, 2022, about 1536 Pacific daylight time, a Beechcraft H35 Bonanza, N5546D, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near LaCrosse, Washington. The pilot was seriously injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported that during a cross-country flight from Arlington Municipal Airport (KAWO), Arlington, Washington to Port of Whitman Business Air Center Airport (S94), Colfax, Washington, about 10 minutes from the destination airport, while on approach and as he performed his pre-landing checklist, the engine lost all power. The pilot reported that it sounded as if the engine went to idle power. He then switched from the right to the left fuel tank, applied full throttle, increased the mixture to full rich, but the engine did not start. Shortly after, the pilot initiated a forced landing to a wheat field.
Subsequently, the engine separated from the firewall and the airplane sustained substantial damage to the engine mount and truss.
A local law enforcement officer reported that fuel was observed in the wing tanks.
The airplane and engine were recovered to secure facilities for further examination.
