Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal
On January 19, 2019, about 1400 mountain standard time, an experimental amateur built Hill Group LLC, CCX-2000 airplane, N57FX, was substantially damaged during an off-airport landing following a loss of engine power near Roll, Arizona. The airline transport pilot was not injured. The airplane was owned and operated by the pilot under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the personal flight. The cross-country flight originated from Yuma, Arizona, about 30 minutes prior, with an intended destination of Chandler, Arizona.
The pilot reported that during cruise flight at an altitude of about 1,000 ft above ground level, the engine began to run rough. He reduced engine power, increased the mixture, and engaged the emergency fuel pump and backup ignition, which yielded no change in the engine performance. Shortly after, the engine began to vibrate and subsequently lost all power. The pilot initiated an off-airport landing to a nearby clearing in the open desert. During the landing roll, the airplane struck a ditch and nosed over.
Examination of the airplane by the pilot revealed that the airplane sustained structural damage to the left wing. The airplane was recovered to a secure location for further examination.
