Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The non-certificated Pilot reported that he had just purchased the accident airplane the preceding day, and had only flown it for a period of two hours or so. On the accident flight, he had been airborne less than 10 minutes when the engine reportedly began running rough and then seized a few minutes later. He made an emergency landing in a relatively flat, tundra like area, during which the airplane nosed-over. The cause of the powerloss was not determined.
