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 acft lost power during a normal climb on a personal trip. The private plt noticed a drop in fuel flow pressure and smelled fuel. The plt then selected boost pump on but the pressure stayed low. The plt elected to make a forced landing and selected a field. The acft overflew the field and impacted in a tree filled swamp. Post accident exam of wreckage did not reveal any evidence to explain the loss of power or the fuel odor.
