| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that he was making a circling descent to the airport after dropping parachutists and that he used carburetor heat during the descent. As the pilot was on the base leg of the landing pattern, close to the turn onto the final leg, the engine lost power. The pilot landed the airplane short of the runway, and the firewall buckled and the nose landing gear bent forward. The operator later functionally tested the engine and it operated normally.
Probable Cause: A loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined because no anomalies were found during the postaccident engine examination.
