NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
On September 7, 2014, about 1330 central daylight time, a Cirrus SR22 airplane, N22WX, was substantially damaged during a forced landing near Langola Township, Minnesota. The commercial pilot and three passengers were not injured. The airplane was substantially damaged. The airplane was registered to N22WX LLC and operated by a private individual under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight. The flight originated from the Mankato Regional Airport, Mankato, Minnesota, about 1255.
According to the pilot, while at cruise about 4,500 feet mean sea level, the airplane's airspeed began to decay and the engine's exhaust gas temperatures began to decrease. The pilot attempted to restore power to the engine without success. About one minute later the engine stopped producing power. The pilot performed a forced landing to a rural road. During the landing roll the pilot maneuvered the airplane to miss an oncoming car and collided with a utility pole guy wire. None of the occupants were injured, however substantial damage was sustained to the airplane's left wing.
The airplane was retained for further examination.
