## Probable cause

LOSS OF ENGINE POWER FOR UNDETERMINED REASONS AND THE ICY RUNWAY CONDITIONS.

## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of engine power, landing - aborted
  - reason for occurrence undetermined (cause)
  - aborted landing - attempted, pilot in command
  - weather condition - carburetor icing conditions
- Overrun, landing - roll
  - terrain condition - icy (cause)
  - brakes(normal) - not possible, pilot in command (cause)
  - object - fence

## Analysis

AT NIGHT IN VMC THE PILOT ELECTED TO MAKE A LOW APPROACH TO DETERMINE RUNWAY CONDITIONS.  UPON DETERMINING THAT THE RUNWAY WAS ICE COVERED, HE ATTEMPTED TO GO AROUND, HOWEVER THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND.  A LANDING WAS INITIATED ON THE RUNWAY AND AFTER TOUCHDOWN THE ENGINE RESPONDED AND AN ABORTED LANDING WAS INITIATED.  DURING INITIAL CLIMB THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND AN EMERGENCY LANDING WAS INITIATED ON THE REMAINING RUNWAY.  THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT ON THE REMAINING RUNWAY AND IMPACTED A FENCE AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY.  THE PILOT STATED THAT THE TEMPERATURE WAS 26 DEGREES.  HE INDICATED THAT HE HAD BEEN USING CARBURETOR HEAT.
