Probable cause
The pilot-in-command's improper flare during a forced landing which resulted in a hard landing. Contributing to the accident was the total 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
The private pilot stated he experienced a total loss of engine power on initial climb at about 200 feet AGL for undetermined reasons. The pilot conducted a forced landing to the grass, rounded out too high, landed hard, and the main landing gear separated from the airplane.
