On September 7, 2020, about 0810 central daylight time, a Piper PA-32R airplane, N3576X, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Bonham, Texas.

According to the pilot, the airplane was on its first flight after maintenance work was completed, which included the replacement of the engine exhaust. Shortly after departure, the pilot noted high TIT and CHT temperatures. The pilot then decided to return to the airport; however, about 2 miles short of the airport, the engine experienced a total loss of power.

During the forced landing the landing gear collapsed in the soft terrain. An initial inspection of the airplane found substantial damage to the right wing, the landing gear had collapsed, and the propeller blades were bent.

The airplane and engine were recovered and will be examined.
