Full Narrative
On March 25, 2024, about 1853 central daylight time, a Cozy Mark IV airplane, N20MN, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Gonzales, Texas. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported that while enroute, about 9,500 ft mean sea level, the airplane experienced a total loss of engine power. After multiple attempts to restart the engine, the pilot executed a forced landing to a nearby airport.
The airplane landed short of the runway threshold and its nose landing gear separated as the airplane transitioned onto the asphalt runway. The left wing and left canard sustained substantial damage.
