What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The aircraft had been loaded with agricultural chemical from equipment mounted on a mobile trailer. The pilot had requested fuel and the single point fuel system had been connected. Immediately after the aircraft departed, ground personnel called the pilot when they discovered no fuel had been pumped into the aircraft. After assessing the quantity of fuel on board, the pilot decided he had enough fuel to safely spray the load and return to the airport. On the return flight to the airport the engine experienced a total loss of power. The pilot chose to land in a nearby alfalfa field. On roll out, the aircraft went through two barb wire fences and the right wing tip contacted a utility pole just prior to the aircraft encountering ditch where it popped up on a driveway and stopped.
