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 pilot stated there was a partial loss of power during the takeoff roll. He reported that there was insufficient runway remaining to stop when the power loss occurred. The available airspeed was used to "hop" over a 3-foot embankment, but the nose gear, right main gear and right wing tip were damaged when the plane landed in a soybean field beyond the embankment. During a subsequent examination and an engine run-up, no mechanical malfunction or failures were noted.
