NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn May 27, 2020, about 1458 eastern daylight time, a Beech 35-A33 airplane, N123JB, was substantially damaged when it collided with trees during a forced landing near Cambridge, Ohio. The pilot was fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 ferry flight. According to airplane track data, at 1403:43, the airplane was established in a climb after it departed from runway 27L at Ohio State University Airport (OSU), Columbus, Ohio. The airplane flew to the west before it entered a climbing right turn to a northeast course. The airplane continued the climb to 3,000 ft mean sea level (msl) before it turned to an east-southeast course, as shown in figure 1. The airplane then climbed to a final cruise altitude of 3,500 ft msl and maintained an east-southeast course. Figure 1 – Aircraft Track Data According to engine monitor and airplane track data, during takeoff and initial climb the fuel flow was 22- to 23 gph. As the airplane climbed to 3,500 ft msl the fuel flow was 20 to 25.5 gph. According to Beech 35-A33 performance data, the fuel flow is about 22 gph when the engine is operated at the rated horsepower and manifold pressure, and the fuel flow is about 13.4 gph when the engine is operated at 75% power and leaned for cruise flight at 3,500 ft. Between 1423:45 and 1425:45, the fuel flow averaged 22 gph in cruise flight at 3,500 ft msl. Between 1425:45 and 1428:28, the fuel flow gradually increased to 28 gph. About 25 minutes into the flight, at 1428:28, the fuel flow decreased rapidly from 28 gph to 11 gph with c
Probable cause
A fuel injection system leak at or near the No. 3 cylinder that resulted in a partial loss of engine power during cruise flight.
