On March 19, 1994, at 1759 central standard time, a Cessna 210L, N8145L, was substantially damaged during a forced landing near Haskell, Oklahoma. The private pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the business flight. In an interview with a Federal Aviation Administration inspector, the pilot reported that the aircraft experienced a loss of engine power at 200 feet above ground level on final approach to Haskell Airport. The aircraft then impacted the ground in a field one- half mile north of runway. He further reported that he had just reduced power for landing when the power loss occurred. A review of the refueling records indicated that the pilot had purchased 20 gallons of fuel prior to take off and had flown 1 hour and 40 minutes. An examination of the aircraft revealed that there was fuel in the fuel manifold and lines. No discrepancies were found that would account for the loss of engine power. The aircraft was released to the owners representative.
WAS THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER FOR UNDETERMINED REASONS. A FACTOR WAS THE LACK OF SUITABLE TERRAIN FOR THE FORCED LANDING.
