Probable cause
The animals in the landing area. A factor was the loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
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 day agriculture operations the airplane experienced a loss of engine power and the pilot executed a forced landing. During the landing roll, a herd of cattle suddenly came into view and the pilot was forced to take evasive action. He abruptly changed the direction of the airplane, resulting in the landing gear collapsing. The cause of the power loss was not determined.
