A Cameron Air Services float-equipped Cessna TU206G equipped with was conducting a VFR flight from Mill Lake, ON, to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (CYTZ), ON, with only the pilot on board. Shortly after takeoff during cruise flight, the oil pressure gauge indicated a reading below the green arc. As all other engine parameters remained within normal limits, the pilot elected to continue the flight. However, en route, the pilot heard approximately four loud banging sounds before the oil filler access panel opened unexpectedly. Oil subsequently began leaking from the engine, spraying the windshield and obstructing visibility. The pilot declared a Mayday to Air Traffic Control (ATC) and directed the aircraft toward a farmer’s field near Linton, ON, for a forced landing. After extending the landing gear, the aircraft landed in the field. The aircraft sustained substantial damage to the tail and floats, and a fence on the farm property was also damaged. The pilot was not injured. Post-incident inspection by the company’s maintenance team revealed a large hole in the top crankcase of the Continental IO-550-DCF engine, specifically in the area of cylinders 5 and 6.
