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 ag-acft lost power while turning, shortly after departure from a field. During the subsequent forced ldg, the acft struck a fence and nosed over. The engine was torn from the acft during the impact sequence. Post-crash examination of the acft engine by an FAA inspector revealed a quantity of water in the carburetor.
