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 private plt was returning from a business flight. The plt reported that the engine quit during the approach to landing. An emergency landing was made in an open field. The right wing hit a sign and skidded to rest across a paved road and into another open field. A post accident investigation revealed fuel in both tanks but exact quantity could not be determined. A post accident engine run did not reveal any evidence to explain the reported engine failure.
