## Probable cause

THE LOSS OF CONTROL DURING THE LANDING ROLL. A FACTOR WAS THE PARTIAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER.

## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of engine power, cruise - normal
  - reason for occurrence undetermined (cause)
  - precautionary landing - performed, pilot in command
- Forced landing, descent - emergency
- Loss of control - on ground/water, landing - roll
  - directional control - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)
  - terrain condition - soft

## Analysis

DURING A LOCAL AREA FLIGHT THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RUN ROUGH, SO THE PILOT ELECTED TO EXECUTE A PRECAUTIONARY TO A FARM ROAD. DURING THE LANDING ROLL THE AIRPLANE VEERED OFF THE ROAD AND ENTERED A FRESHLY PLOWED FIELD. THE NOSE GEAR SANK INTO THE SOFT EARTH AND THE AIRPLANE NOSED OVER TO THE INVERTED POSITION.
