Read the full NTSB narrative

On March 10, 2026, about 1915 eastern daylight time, a Rockwell International 114 airplane, N4832W, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Whitmire, South Carolina. The flight instructor received minor injuries. The pilot receiving instructions was seriously injured, and the passenger was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 instructional flight. The flight instructor reported that the purpose of the flight was to perform a local instructional flight combined with a break-in flight for the recently overhauled engine. The airplane departed with 38 gallons of fuel from Rock Hill (York County) Airport-Bryant Field (UZA), Rock Hill, South Carolina. About one hour after departure, at an altitude of about 2,700 ft mean sea level, the airplane experienced a total loss of engine power. Unable to restore engine power, the pilot receiving instruction performed a forced landing to a field. During the landing roll, the landing gear separated and the airplane came to rest in an upright position. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and left wing. The airplane was retained for further examination.
