What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot in command (PIC) reports that just after parachute jumpers had departed the aircraft at approximately 8,500 feet mean sea level (MSL) the retarded power to begin the descent back to the airport. After initiating the descent the PIC reports that engine power was lost and could not be restored. The PIC circled the airport area during the descent and set up for a final approach about 1 nautical mile (NM) north of runway 16. With insufficient altitude to reach the runway surface, initial impact occurred at the airport perimeter fencing, located approximately 520 feet north of rwy 16. The aircraft nose landing gear was separated from the airframe by the wire fence and was found laying just inside the fence line. The aircraft came to rest approximately 150' from initial impact on a heading of 150 degrees.
