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
After a loss of power and a propeller overspeed, a forced landing was made. The pilot diverted from two chosen landing sites due to power lines crossing them. A road was chosen and during landing rollout the aircraft's wing tip clipped the top of a fence. The number 5 rod bolt was found to have failed.
