This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed. On June 20, 2004, about 1050 eastern daylight time, a North American T-28C, N28BZ, registered to and operated by a private individual as a Title 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight, made a forced landing to a field in the area of Deland, Florida. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and a visual flight rules flight plan was filed. The pilot and one passenger were not injured, and the airplane incurred substantial damage. The flight was originating at the time of the accident. The pilot stated that he had just departed from New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport, New Smyrna Beach, Florida, and during initial climb, a chip light illuminated on the airplane's instrument panel. He stated that along with the chip light, there was a corresponding reduction in engine rpm, so he looked around for a suitable place to land, and was able to locate an open field. He said that the approach and landing flare/touchdown were uneventful, but during the landing rollout the airplane impacted a ditch, and incurred substantial damage.
