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 was attempting to land the aircraft with a 15 knot tailwind gusting to 20 knots. The density altitude was over 6,000 feet and the runway was an uphill runway with rising terrain ahead. The pilot stated that he decided to go-around but that shortly after application of full power the engine quit operating. The aircraft was landed over 400 feet past the end of the runway. During landing roll the aircraft struck a parked boat and two telephone poles. No evidence of a loss of power was found through examination of the propeller, the aircraft's engine, and the fuel system. The propeller tips were curled 180 degrees on the working face with chordwise scrapes present.
