Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Personal
On June 26, 2020, about 2100 central daylight time, a Piper PA28R, N39693, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident at the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (BJC), Broomfield, Colorado. The private pilot and 2 passengers were not injured, and 1 passenger sustained minor injuries. The local personal flight was being conducted under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91.
The pilot reported that he was flying in the local area and was approaching BJC for a touch and go landing on runway 30R. Shortly before the base-final turn his shoulder harness suddenly locked up. He leaned back to release the belt, but it took the slack without releasing. He verbalized the seat belt problem to the passengers. After touchdown, the airplane rotated, climbed, accelerated, and the pilot retracted the landing gear.
The pilot stated that during the climb, the engine hesitated and he pitched the airplane forward. During this time, the pilot attempted to switch fuel tanks from left to right, and it was difficult to reach the selector level because of the shoulder harness not releasing. The pilot abandoned further attempts to switch fuel tanks and initiated a left turn toward flat terrain for a forced landing.
The airplane was landed in a field about 350-feet beyond the departure end of runway 30R and came to rest upright adjacent to a tree line. All passengers evacuated and the pilot secured the airplane.
