| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The single-engine airplane experienced a loss of engine power while it was maneuvering in the traffic pattern. The private pilot landed the airplane "long and hot," 3/4 of the way down the length of the grass runway. The airplane became airborne and diverted to the left side of the runway, where it impacted a fence and turned upside down. A post-accident examination of the engine revealed no anomalies that would have prevented its operation.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to obtain a proper touchdown point and his excessive approach speed during a forced landing. A contributing factor was the total loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
