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 engine lost power while in cruise flight about 9 miles short of the pilot's planned destination. He made a forced landing in an open field. After rolling about 75 feet the airplane wheels bogged in and it flipped inverted. The owner of the aircraft, Mr. Jerrell crosby, stated he suspected the aircraft's fuel supply was exhausted when the crash occurred. He was contacted again, after the aircraft was recovered, to see if any mechanical problems were found. At this time he stated his earlier suspicions were confirmed and that there were no mechanical problems involved in the accident.
