On July 20, 2023, about 1236 central daylight time, a Beech A36 airplane, N36900, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident near Oberlin, Kansas. The pilot was not injured, and the passenger sustained minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The airplane departed from Northeast Wyoming Regional Airport (GCC), Gillette, Wyoming, enroute to Dalhart Municipal Airport (DHT), Dalhart, Texas. The pilot reported that while in cruise flight over a cloud layer near Oberlin, the airplane experienced a loss of engine power. While the pilot attempted to troubleshoot the issue, the airplane descended through the clouds, and he regained visual reference about 1,500 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot maneuvered the airplane for a forced landing to a road. Upon touchdown, the airplane exited the road, encountered an embankment, and impacted terrain which resulted in substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage.
The airplane was recovered to a secure facility for further examination.
