What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
At 1421 local time takeoff clearance was issued with an altitude restriction of 2500'. The pilot reached 2500' and reduced power to 23" map and 2300 RPM.
Within 30 seconds after leveling off the engine quit running without any warning (no coughing, no sputtering, no rough running). The propeller continued to windmill. The pilot advised departure of his situation and that he was turning toward the airport. Tower cleared him to land on runway 15. He told them there was no way he could make it to any runway and that he would just try to get back to the airport property. He turned back toward the airport and was aligned with taxiway charlie.
He tried switching to the right main fuel tank and turning on the fuel boost pump. Neither of these actions revived the engine.
There is a line of trees and a power line on the west boundary of kmob. The aircraft lacked about 5 feet of altitude in order to clear those completely. The aircraft hit the top of the trees and nose landing gear, just above the wheel, separated the top wire of the power lines. The aircraft was still controllable and he landed in the grass, on the airport property, short of taxiway charlie.
The aircraft rolled with the remaining inertia just onto the taxiway and that's where it came to rest.
Damage to the aircraft appears to have been localized to the right wing.
As the FAA filed it
AT 1421 LOCAL TIME TAKEOFF CLEARANCE WAS ISSUED WITH AN ALTITUDE RESTRICTION OF 2500'. THE PILOT REACHED 2500' AND REDUCED POWER TO 23" MAP AND 2300 RPM.
WITHIN 30 SECONDS AFTER LEVELING OFF THE ENGINE QUIT RUNNING WITHOUT ANY WARNING (NO COUGHING, NO SPUTTERING, NO ROUGH RUNNING). THE PROPELLER CONTINUED TO WINDMILL. THE PILOT ADVISED DEPARTURE OF HIS SITUATION AND THAT HE WAS TURNING TOWARD THE AIRPORT. TOWER CLEARED HIM TO LAND ON RUNWAY 15. HE TOLD THEM THERE WAS NO WAY HE COULD MAKE IT TO ANY RUNWAY AND THAT HE WOULD JUST TRY TO GET BACK TO THE AIRPORT PROPERTY.HE TURNED BACK TOWARD THE AIRPORT AND WAS ALIGNED WITH TAXIWAY CHARLIE.
HE TRIED SWITCHING TO THE RIGHT MAIN FUEL TANK AND TURNING ON THE FUEL BOOST PUMP. NEITHER OF THESE ACTIONS REVIVED THE ENGINE.
THERE IS A LINE OF TREES AND A POWER LINE ON THE WEST BOUNDARY OF KMOB. THE AIRCRAFT LACKED ABOUT 5 FEET OF ALTITUDE IN ORDER TO CLEAR THOSE COMPLETELY. THE AIRCRAFT HIT THE TOP OF THE TREES AND NOSE LANDING GEAR, JUST ABOVE THE WHEEL, SEPARATED THE TOP WIRE OF THE POWER LINES. THE AIRCRAFT WAS STILL CONTROLLABLE AND HE LANDED IN THE GRASS, ON THE AIRPORT PROPERTY, SHORT OF TAXIWAY CHARLIE.
THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED WITH THE REMAINING INERTIA JUST ONTO THE TAXIWAY AND THAT'S WHERE IT CAME TO REST.
DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN LOCALIZED TO THE RIGHT WING.
