| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot was departing on an agricultural application flight, and, during takeoff, the engine lost partial power. The pilot released the load of fertilizer and attempted to land on a road. However, the airplane was unable to sustain flight, and the pilot landed the airplane in a field. The airplane collided with concrete obstacles during the landing roll. Postaccident wreckage examination and component testing did not reveal a mechanical reason for the partial power loss. The reported weather conditions were not conducive to serious carburetor icing at cruise power; the engine was operating at a high power setting for takeoff, indicating that carburetor ice was likely not the reason for the partial loss of engine power.
Probable Cause: Partial loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
