| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
After takeoff and reaching an altitude of 1,000 feet above the ground, the engine surged and a reduction of power was observed; attempts to restore engine power were unsuccessful. The pilot decided to attempt a return to the airport; however, he elected to land in an adjacent field after determining he would not be able to make the runway. Subsequent impact with trees resulted in substantial damage to the airplane. A post-accident engine run did not reveal any anomalies which would have precluded normal operations. The reason for the partial loss of power could not be determined.
Probable Cause: Loss of partial engine power for undetermined reasons during the initial climb after takeoff. Trees were a factor during the landing roll.
