NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
On November 29, 2014, at 1500 eastern standard time, a Cessna 182Q, N759VG, was substantially damaged when it collided with a fence during an forced landing in West Hartford, Connecticut. The private pilot was not injured. The airplane was registered to and operated by the private pilot under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the personal flight. The flight originated from Robertson Field Airport (4B8), Plainville, Connecticut at 1450.
According to the pilot, during the climbout he noticed that the engine began to run rough and lose power. He assumed that the carburetor was collecting ice and engaged the carburetor heat control to eliminate the presence of any ice. The pilot verified that the fuel selector was in the on position and all engine instruments were operating in the green; but the engine continued to run rough and lose power. After determining that the airplane could not maintain altitude and the engine would not regain power, the pilot attempted a forced landing on a road. During the forced landing the right wing collided with a barrier fence and came to rest on the road. The airplane was recovered for further examination.
