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 lost engine power at an altitude of about 150 feet AGL following takeoff. He impacted a raised roadbed during the forced landing, flipped inverted, slid to a stop, and burned. The fire damage prevented determination of the cause of engine failure.
