The pilot had been receiving vectors for spacing around traffic. When he was finally cleared to land, he was higher than traffic pattern altitude, and he slipped the airplane to dissipate excess altitude. When he advanced the throttle, the engine did not respond. An off-airport forced landing ensued. The airplane collided with a curb, stop sign, bus sign, and fence. The engine was later functionally tested and operated satisfactorily. It was the opinion of an FAA aviation safety inspector that the power loss may have been due to the engine 'loading up.' At the time of the accident, the airport temperature and dew point were 33 degrees C. (91.4 degrees F.) and 9 degrees C. (48.2 degrees F.), respectively. According to the Carburetor Icing Probability Curve, light icing at glide and cruise power settings are possible under these conditions.
Probable Cause: A total loss of engine power (nonmechanical) for reasons undetermined. Factors were the existence of conditions conducive to carburetor icing, and unsuitable terrain on which to make a forced landing.
