NTSB summary

HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn November 10, 2015, about 1858 central standard time, a Cessna 182Q, N96381, impacted trees and terrain during an off-airport forced landing near Richmond, Missouri. The pilot was fatally injured and the airplane was substantially damaged. The airplane was registered to 96381 Inc., Ortonville, Michigan, and was operated by a private individual under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight. Dark night visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The airplane departed Oakland County International Airport (PTK), Pontiac, Michigan, about 1530 eastern standard time, and was destined for Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport (MKC), Kansas City, Missouri. The pilot was receiving visual flight rules flight following services from air traffic control. At 1848:46 (all times are central standard time unless otherwise noted), about 40 nautical miles northwest of MKC, the pilot contacted the Kansas City International Airport departure east radar air traffic controller. The controller responded with the MKC landing runway information and advised the current Automatic Terminal Information Service code. The pilot replied that she had the current weather information. At 1849:44 while heading approximately 245°, the pilot transmitted, "…I need some help." After the controller acknowledged, the pilot said, "I need an airport right now, I've lost a lot of my engine power, and I don't know why." The controller advised the pilot of an airport about 5 miles southwest of her position (Curtis Field Airport, 8MO3), pr

Probable cause

The airplane's impact with trees and terrain during an off-airport forced landing in dark night conditions following a partial loss of engine power. The reason for the partial loss of engine power could not be determined because postaccident examination did not reveal any mechanical anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
