EMER LNDG.

Narrative

I WAS APCHING SUN FOR LNDG T-210-1 MI FINAL CLRED FOR LNDG AND I WAS SLIGHTLY LOW ON IDEAL GLIDE PATH SO ADDED 2 INCH MANIFOLD PRESSURE AND SEEMED TO GET NO RESPONSE. THEN ADDED MORE PWR AND STILL NO RESPONSE. I THEN CONSIDERED BEST GLIDE TO MAKE IT TO ARPT; WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY CLOSE CALL TO US. SLOWING DOWN GOING WITH FULL FLAPS AND R-STOL CAPABILITY TO LAND IN SMOOTH FARM FIELD SHORT OF THE ARPT WHICH SEEMED MUCH SAFER. I DECIDED TO GO FOR THE FARM FIELD. WHILE ON FINAL DSCNT I CONTINUED EMER CHKLIST AND FOUND LOW BOOST PUMP ON AND TURNED THIS OFF. AT THIS POINT PWR STARTED TO RETURN BUT I WAS SO SLOW AND LOW THAT I FELT IT WAS SAFEST TO CONTINUE WITH THE LNDG. LNDG WAS SOFT WITH NORMAL ROLLOUT THROUGH KNEE HIGH BARLEY. ENG WAS BACK TO RUNNING SMOOTH SO I IDLED THE ENG 2 MINS TO COOL DOWN TURBOCHARGER AND THEN SHUTDOWN ENG. I ANNOUNCED TO TWR AT ONSET THAT I HAD LOSS OF PWR AND MAY HAVE TO LAND ON FIELD. I THEN ANNOUNCED TO TWR I WAS SAFELY LANDED WITHOUT DAMAGE OR INJURY AND CTLR SAID WE WOULD SEND SUPPORT EQUIP TO HELP. FIRE DEP PERSONNEL CAME AND INSPECTED THE SCENE AND WITH THEIR SUPVR ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE TO TRANSFER THE AIRPLANE UP TO THE ARPT SVC AREA WHERE IT WAS SECURED IN FBO HANGAR FOR FURTHER INSPECTION.
