On December 31, 2012, about 1045 mountain standard time, a Cessna 210A, N9507X, experienced a loss of engine power on takeoff from runway 22R and the pilot made a forced landing in an open field near the Chandler Municipal Airport (CHD), Chandler, Arizona. The pilot was operating the privately-owned borrowed airplane under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. The private pilot and three passengers were not injured. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and wings. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the local area flight, and no flight plan had been filed.
According to airport operations, the airplane had performed three touch-and-go takeoffs and landings. On the fourth takeoff, the engine lost power, and the pilot made a forced landing in an open field. The airplane came to rest about 1/4 mile from the departure end of runway 22R.
A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector responded to the accident and reported that fuel was evident in the airplane, and there were no obvious mechanical problems identified. The pilot reported to the FAA inspector that right after takeoff, the engine quite; “it did not sputter or cough, it just quit.”
