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 aircraft experienced a power loss at 300 feet after takeoff and a forced landing was made with the wheels up in a plowed field. An investigation revealed that a seal around the carburetor air mixing box had come loose and an oil seal in the turbocharger was worn. The engine operated normally during a run-up after the accident.
