NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
On December 19, 2013, at 2351 eastern standard time, a Cessna 210N, N5307A, was substantially damaged during a forced landing following a total loss of engine power while on approach to Tampa International Airport (TPA), Tampa, Florida. The commercial pilot was seriously injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and the airplane was operating on an instrument flight rules flight plan. The flight had originated from Valdosta Regional Airport (VLD), about 2307, and was destined for TPA. The on-demand air cargo flight was conducted under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 135.
According to preliminary air traffic control (ATC) radar and voice communication information provided by the Federal Aviation Administration, while approaching TPA, the pilot advised ATC that the airplane's engine was experiencing difficulties and that he needed to land the airplane on an alternate runway. The pilot was subsequently cleared to land on runway 19R. The crew of a helicopter operated by the Tampa Police Department observed the airplane as it approached and impacted a berm short of the runway, on the airport property. The helicopter crew then landed adjacent to the accident site, and one of the crewmembers successfully extracted the pilot from the wreckage.
An examination of the airframe and engine were scheduled for a later date.
