Narrative:After descending from 3,000 feet with engine power off and the carburetor heat on, the pilot entered the traffic pattern to land. While on downwind and base legs the pilot cleared the engine and it responded normally. While on final approach he increased the engine throttle and the engine did not respond. The aircraft touched down in a field, rolled up and embankment, became airborne, and collided with the airport fence. Post crash examination showed the aircraft contained uncontaminated fuel and there was no evidence of engine mechanical failure or malfunction. Each propeller blade was bent forward during ground contact and about three inches of blade tip had separated. Portions of the airport fence post had damage consistent with the propeller being turned by engine power at the time of impact.
Probable Cause: Temporary loss of engine power for undetermined reasons res ulting in a forced landing on unsuitable terrain.
