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 owner of the aircraft reported that there was a gradual loss of engine power. The plane was landed on a dirt road; however, there was insufficient room to stop before reaching the end of the road. The owner reported that he swerved to avoid a dead end fence. An investigation revealed that a nut backed off of a throttle linkage bolt at the carburetor arm. The bolt fell out and the engine went to idle RPM.
