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
While on downwind the pilot stated he "pulled the carburator heat on and almost immediately reduced the power." At this point the engine stopped. Although he attempted to restart the engine while executing emergency procedures, the engine failed to respond. The plane touched down, short of the runway and traveled about 25 feet before nosing over on its back. The engine examination revealed no mechanical failure or malfunction.
