On June 3, 2023, about 1158 central daylight time, an Air Tractor AT-502B airplane, N509HB, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Lake Village, Arkansas. The pilot was uninjured. The aircraft was operated as a 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 137 aerial application flight.
The pilot reported that shortly after departure, the airplane lost thrust, but the engine remained operating. Unable to continue flight with diminished thrust, the pilot executed a forced landing to a field, which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage and both wings.
During a postaccident examination, engine and propeller control continuity was established from the cockpit controls to their respective engine and propeller controls with no anomalies noted. The propeller appeared at or near the feathered position.
A review of maintenance records indicated that the airplane had undergone maintenance the day before at a 14 CFR Part 145 Repair Station, which included an adjustment to the propeller beta plunger. The extent of the work was not documented on the work order and no logbook entries were made.
A detailed engine and propeller examination is pending.
