THE INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER ON TAKEOFF. THE AIRPLANE COLLIDED WITH TREES AND FELL TO THE GROUND. EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINE AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM REVEALED A DISTORTED SEAL AT THE CARBURETOR FLANGE THAT ALLOWED DIRT AND MOISTURE TO ENTER THE CARBURETOR. THE CARBURETOR HAD BEEN REMOVED AND WORKED ON BY A LOCAL MECHANIC 2 DAYS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT.
Probable Cause: THE IMPROPER MAINTENANCE WORK DONE ON THE CARBURETOR BY A LOCAL MECHANIC THAT RESULTED IN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER OVER UNSUITABLE TERRAIN. A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR WAS THE DIRT AND MOISTURE THAT CONTAMINATED THE CARBURETOR.
