Probable cause
Loss of engine power. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for forced landing.
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 agriculture operations the airplane lost total engine power while maneuvering due to a failed impeller in the supercharger section. During the subsequent forced landing the airplane nosed over in soft terrain.
