A Horizon Aerosports Pilatus PC-6/B1-H2 Turbo Porter aircraft, registration C-GROO, serial number 662, was being used for parachute training, with the pilot and five sport parachutists on board. An engine run-up was carried out before take-off, which indicated normal engine performance. The aircraft took off at approximately 1640 Pacific daylight time. The take-off, from Runway 24, was normal, with full engine power available. While the aircraft was climbing through approximately 900 feet above sea level (asl), engine power rolled back in five seconds to about 46 per cent Ng, the rotation speed of the PT6A engine gas generator section, which is less than flight idle power. The pilot applied full throttle but engine power did not increase, and he carried out a successful forced landing in a hay field about 1½ miles off the end of Runway 24. There were no injuries and the aircraft was not damaged.
