Narrative:On July 26, 2024, about 1313 central daylight time, an Ayres S2R-G6 airplane, N6136Z, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Antioch, Nebraska. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 positioning flight.
The pilot reported that when the airplane was about 7 miles from the destination airport, about 500 ft above ground level (agl), the engine exhaust gas temperature (EGT) and torque decreased to zero. The engine did not respond to an increase in the throttle, and he executed a forced landing to a pasture. The airplane impacted a steel fence during the landing and sustained substantial damage to both wings.
Recovery of the airplane from the accident site is pending. An examination of the engine and airframe fuel system will be conducted following recovery.
