Analysis
After about one hour of flight and during a takeoff the engine ceased operating. The pilot attempted to land the aircraft onto the remaining runway but an overrun occurred. The aircraft rolled through a fence and then a ditch with the nose gear breaking off. A small fire erupted after the aircraft came to rest on a dry field. A fuel vent was found to have been plugged by mud dabbers.
