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 takeoff, the engine lost power at about 150 feet AGL while the aircraft was climbing. The pilot made an emergency landing in a field 1/2 mile from the airport. The engine was later test run and no malfunctons noted that would account for the power loss.
