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 the climb to cruise phase of the flt, the engine experienced a loss of power. The pilot applied carburetor heat and the power began to return. Due to the loss in altitude, the plt opted to make a forced landing in a field where just prior to touchdown, a gust of wind pushed the airplane into a power pole. There were no reported mechanical failures of malfunctions.
