Narrative:On October 23, 2022, about 1700 eastern daylight time, a Piper PA28-235 airplane, N8580N, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near the Spartanburg Downtown Memorial Airport (SPA), Spartanburg, South Carolina. The private pilot and three passengers were not injured. The airplane was operated by the pilot as a personal flight conducted under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91.
The pilot reported that the preflight inspection, run-up, and takeoff were routine. On climb out, about 600 ft above ground, he heard a “boom”, the engine rpm dropped to zero, and the engine lost all power. He immediately pitched for best glide airspeed and completed a forced landing on a city street. During the rollout, the pilot turned into an auto parts store, evacuated the passengers and himself, and deployed a fire extinguisher toward the engine and cowling due to smoke emanating from that area. The airplane struck power lines during the landing approach, which resulted in substantial damage to the rudder.
A Federal Aviation Administration Inspector performed a visual examination of the engine. He observed evidence of smoke and fire damage on the engine and cowling area. There were no obvious signs of a catastrophic engine failure.
The airplane was powered by a Lycoming O-540-B4B5, 235-horsepower, reciprocating engine. The most recent annual inspection was completed on February 15, 2022.
The airplane was retained for further examination.
