| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that he found no abnormalities with the airplane during the preflight inspection. After engine start-up and before taxiing, the pilot allowed the engine temperature to rise due to the cold ambient temperature, and the predeparture engine run-up was normal. The airplane took off and, when it reached about 500 ft above ground level, the engine “misfired.” The pilot cycled the carburetor heat on and verified that the primer was “locked” and that the fuel selector was in the “on” position. Despite these actions, the engine experienced a total loss of power. The pilot subsequently conducted a forced landing in an agricultural field. A postaccident examination of the engine revealed no evidence of any preimpact mechanical malfunctions or fuel contamination that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: A total loss of engine power on climbout for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examination of the engine did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
