NTSB narrative
When the airplane was en route to the destination airport, the engine began to run rough and lose power. The pilot attempted to restore engine power and turned toward the nearest airport. Unable to reach the airport, the pilot performed a forced landing to a field, and the airplane was substantially damaged during the off-field landing. About 60 gallons of fuel was drained from the airplane during its recovery. A review of the multi-function display data revealed normal engine operation from takeoff until about 1.5 hours into the flight, when the fuel flow decreased and the engine experienced a loss of engine power. An examination of the airframe and a subsequent engine run did not detect any preimpact anomalies. The reason for the reduction in fuel flow and the subsequent fuel starvation to the engine could not be determined.
Probable cause
The loss of engine power due to fuel starvation for reasons that could not be determined because a postaccident examination of the airframe and engine did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.

- Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
- Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: investigation status. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
- The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
- API snapshot SHA-256: 1558363a14842ffe8bf197c065563b29e20af82bb403326da2518690bdadf8bb; retrieved 2026-09-15T21:22:36.043Z.
