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
Plt stated that shortly after takeoff a loss of pwr occurred. Plt pulled up to fly over pwr lines rather than hit a fence under the lines. The acft cleared the wires then stalled into a field. The plt stated the engine was running roughduring the previous flt so he adjusted the fuel injection servo to the lean side. The fuel injection system was bench tested after the accident and no discrepancies were found.
