FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, USA
N613C
CESSNA T210M
APPROXIMATELY 18 MILES WEST OF THE FORT LAUDERDALE AIRPORT, WHILE CRUISING AT 7500 FEET, THE ENGINE LOST POWER. AFTER ADVISING THE TOWER OF THE PROBLEM, ATC SUGGESTED ATTEMPTING A LANDING AT A CLOSER AIRPORT. AT THIS POINT THE PILOT STATED THAT POWER HAD BEEN REGAINED AND HE WOULD PREFER TO LAND AT HIS ORIGINAL DESTINATION. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED IN A FIELD ABOUT 1 MILE WEST OF FORT LAUDERDALE AIRPORT RECEIVING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE PILOT HAD MADE A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING THE DAY BEFORE DUE TO INTERMITTENT ENGINE PROBLEMS AND THAT NO ACTION WAS TAKEN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BEFORE DEPARTURE THE FOLLOWING DAY.
