| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
At approximately 500 feet after takeoff, the engine began to run roughly and the pilot elected to land back on the airstrip. The engine was still developing sufficient power at this point to complete a climbing turn to 800 feet. Approximately mid-downwind, the engine failed. In the subsequent forced landing, the aircraft touched down about one third of the way down the airstrip and the pilot had an insufficient length of runway in order to bring the aircraft to a halt before the end of the strip. The aircraft overshot the strip and came to rest partly down a sloping sea wall.
