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 pilot reported that the engine lost power during takeoff after he raised the gear and flaps. He stated that he lowered the nose and the stall warning buzzer sounded, but he was unable to obtain the necessary airspeed. He stated that the power began to come back as he was making an emergency landing at the end of the runway, but too late. An engine teardown revealed no evidence of failure or malfunction. The density altitude was about 2400 ft.
