NTSB Reports is an independent research and search tool for public aviation accident and incident records. It brings NTSB aviation reports, structured fields, docket files, extracted figures, photos, videos, and update history into one searchable interface.
The goal is practical safety education: make it faster to find relevant investigations, compare similar events, review factual records, and understand the evidence behind probable-cause and preliminary reports.

DURING AN AERIAL APPLICATION SWATH THE ENGINE QUIT. A FORCED LANDING WAS MADE WHICH RESULTED IN A COLLISION WITH A ROAD AND A DITCH. A POST ACCIDENT EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINE REVEALED THAT THE NUMBER ONE CYLINDER HAD FRACTURED. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF OVER HEATING OF THE CYLINDER AND THE AIRCRAFT RECORDS INDICATED THAT THE ANNUAL INSPECTION HAD BEEN CONDUCTED.
THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER BECAUSE OF A FRACTURED CYLINDER.
On August 11, 1994, about 1000 eastern daylight time, an Ayers S2R, N8914Q, was substantially damaged following a collision with terrain during a forced landing near Vienna, Georgia. The commercial pilot received minor injuries in the accident. The aircraft was being operated under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 137 by A&C Ag Aviation, Incorporated of Unidilla, Georgia. Visual meteorological conditions existed at the time, and no flight plan had been filed for the local, aerial application flight. The flight departed Unadilla, Georgia about 0930. The pilot stated that during an aerial application spray swath, the engine lost power. He executed a forced landing in a field. The aircraft rolled across a paved highway, and impacted the terrain on the opposite side of the highway from the original field. An examination of the engine following the accident discovered a three inch by five inch "blow-out" in the number one cylinder. The inspector who examined the engine stated that there was no evidence of over heating or abuse, and that the aircraft records reflected adequate and timely inspections.
