A complete power loss from mechanical failure. A factor was: a pond, which the aircraft entered during landing roll.
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
During cruise flight, the engine began to run rough followed by a complete power loss. A forced landing was made in a field and during landing roll, the aircraft went into a pond and nosed over. Examination revealed a shorted right magneto and mechanical failure of the turbocharger.
