On August 20, 2023, at 1615 eastern daylight time, a Mooney M20K airplane, N1152K, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Fostoria, Ohio. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported that he had completed a practice instrument approach to Fostoria Metro Airport (FZI), Fostoria, Ohio, but did not land. As the airplane was subsequently climbing, he raised the landing gear and heard a “mechanical noise.” The engine began to “intermittently cut-out”, then stopped producing power when the airplane was about 500-900 ft above the ground (agl). The pilot was unable to return to the runway and made a forced landing to a soybean field, which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage.
The airplane will be recovered for further examination.
