NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
On June 18, 2014, about 1330 central daylight time, N993QC, a Grumman G-164B airplane, collided with terrain during a forced landing following a partial loss of engine power during takeoff. The commercial pilot was not injured and the airplane was substantially damaged. The airplane was registered to and operated by McCormack Crop Care by Air LLC under the provisions of 14 Code of the Federal Regulations Part 137 as an aerial application flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight which operated without a flight plan. The local flight was departing a private airstrip at the time of the accident.
According to a statement provided by the operator, the airplane was departing the private strip when the engine would not produce more than 90% power. The pilot was unable to continue a climb so he performed a forced landing to a road. During the landing roll, the airplane slid to the side of the road and impacted a ditch.
The airplane was retained for further examination.
