| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that shortly after takeoff, he made a right turn and paralleled the eastern shoreline of the island. While over the water, at an altitude of about 700 ft above ground level, the engine sputtered once followed by a complete loss of power. The pilot initiated a forced landing to the water near the shoreline. During the landing, the airplane nosed over and became submerged in about 50 ft of water.
Postaccident examination of the recovered airframe and engine did not reveal evidence of any mechanical anomalies that would have precluded normal operation. The reason for the loss of engine power could not be determined.
Probable Cause: A total loss of engine power during climb for reasons that could not be determined which resulted in a forced water landing.
