| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The agricultural airplane experienced a loss of engine power shortly after takeoff from the operator's private airstrip. The pilot turned toward a cotton field and the aircraft started to descend into the field. The left wing impacted the ground, and the airplane turned around 180 degrees before it came to rest upright. The operator test ran the engine twice following the accident and could find no anomalies that would have prevented the operation of the engine.
Probable Cause: The loss of engine power for an undetermined reason. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
