DURING A CLIMBING LEFT TURN, A PART OF THE ENGINE DEPARTED THE AIRPLANE. THE PILOT MADE A DECISION TO RETURN TO THE AIRPORT; HOWEVER, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND THE PILOT EXECUTED A FORCED LANDING. DURING THE LANDING ROLL, THE MAIN GEAR SEPARATED WHEN THE AIRPLANE STRUCK A DIKE. AN FAA INSPECTOR EXAMINED THE WRECKAGE, PORTIONS OF WHICH WERE SUBMERGED IN WATER, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THAT A PART CAME OFF THE ENGINE OR WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE REPORTED LOSS OF ENGINE POWER.
Probable Cause: THE PARTIAL POWER LOSS FOR AN UNDETERMINED REASON. A FACTOR WAS THE LACK OF SUITABLE TERRAIN FOR THE FORCED LANDING.
