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 engine lost power as the pilot pulled up from a swath run. A forced landing was made in open terraced field. Dirt was found in the engine fuel pump. Reportedly, the dirt would have restricted the fuel flow.
