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 plt and a photographer were photo-mapping at 3,000 feet MSL. The plt reported that the engine quit at cruise. The plt selected a gravel road for the forced landing. The aircraft landed short of the intended touchdown pointin a plowed field and on touchdown the nose wheel 'dug in' and the aircraft nosed over. A post-accident inspection revealed the number one engine cylinder had a catastrophic crack near the top of the cylinder.
