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 pilot stated that the purpose of the flight was to practice an aerobatic routine which required securing the engine at 5000 feet, executing various maneuvers and then execute a "dead stick" landing. He reported the routine was normal until he was "too high and fast" on short final. Realizing he was going to overrun the runway he jumped the aircraft over a levy and landed in a rice field.
