This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed.
On July 11, 2012, about 1830 central daylight time, a Piper PA-28-140, N6258J, operated by a private individual, was substantially damaged during a forced landing to a swamp, following a partial loss of engine power during initial climb from Ferguson Airport (82J), Pensacola, Florida. The private pilot incurred minor injuries and the flight instructor was seriously injured. The personal flight was conducted under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the planned local flight review.
The private pilot stated that the taxi and takeoff roll were normal. As the airplane crossed over the treeline on the south side of the airport, both pilots noticed that the airplane was not climbing well. They then noticed that the rpm gauge indicated 2,100. With partial power remaining, the pilots flew a left hand traffic pattern to return to the departure runway. The airplane was able to climb at 200 feet per minute to 400 feet above ground level. While on the downwind leg, the engine began to sputter and lost more power. They then turned toward the runway about midfield; however, the airplane impacted a swamp prior to the runway.
Examination of the airplane was planned following its recovery from the swamp.
