| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
After takeoff, the engine lost power at low altitude. The student pilot reported that he attempted to 'put the stick forward to get airspeed for landing, but did not have enough altitude.' Subsequently, the airplane impacted the ground approximately 45 degrees nose down. The fuel tank was found to be 3/4 full. No record was found to indicate that the pilot had a solo endorsement on his student pilot certificate.
Probable Cause: the loss of engine power for undertermined reasons, and the pilot's failure to maintain airspeed. A factor was the pilot's lack of flying experience.
