Accident Number: CEN20LA338
Date & Time: 08/15/2020, 1150 CDT
Registration: N5418E
Aircraft: Cessna A185F
Injuries: 1 Minor
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal
On August 15, 2020, about 1150 central daylight time, a Cessna A185F, N5418E, received substantial damage when it was involved in an accident near Sugar Land, Texas. The pilot sustained minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot stated that when he applied full throttle for takeoff, all engine instrument indications were normal. He said the liftoff and initial climb were normal but when he made a right turn toward the destination airport, the engine lost power. He said the cockpit throttle, mixture, and propeller controls were full forward. He said the airplane airspeed was "decaying fast" after the power loss. He chose a grass area next to runway 17 at the departure airport to land the airplane. In the final turn toward the grass area, he selected full wing flaps and tried to slow the airplane speed as much as possible without encountering an aerodynamic stall. He said the airplane stalled while trying to cross a small ditch near the grass area, and the airplane then impacted terrain and skidded about 100 ft before coming to rest. The airplane sustained substantial damage, which included damage to the lower fuselage structure.
The airplane was recovered for later examination.
