Probable cause
The failure of the carburetor throttle cable because of an inadequate annual inspection conducted 4.6 flight hours and one month before the accident.
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 acft lost power shortly after take-off & a forced ldg was made straight ahead. The acft flipped inverted during the ldg. Post accident inspection revealed that the throttle cable had failed.
