## Probable cause

A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER FOR UNDETERMINED REASONS.

## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of engine power(total) - nonmechanical, descent - normal
  - reason for occurrence undetermined (cause)
- Forced landing, descent - emergency
- In flight collision with object, descent - emergency
  - object - fence

## 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.

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
