Probable cause
A loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
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
While returning to the airport for landing, the engine lost power. The pilot initiated an emergency descent to a field and collided with a fence and subsequently the terrain. The post crash inspection did not reveal the reason for the loss of engine power.
