| Nature: | Parachuting |

| Investigating agency: | NTSB |
| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot stated that as the aircraft descended, the engine was operating at 2000 rpm, and the selected manifold pressure was 15 in Hg, and at 8,000 feet he noticed that the engine had ceased operating. Prior to noticing that the engine had ceased operating he said everything had been normal, but as he maneuvered to land he felt he was too far down the runway to land safely, so he elected to perform a go-around. He said that shortly after he made a steep left turn away from the landing runway, the engine ceased operating again, and as he maneuvered to avoid obstacles, the airplane struck the ground in a nose low attitude. He said that he had full flaps applied during the approach to land, and go-around up through the point of impact with the ground. Postaccident examination of the airplane did not reveal any preaccident failures or malfunctions to the airplane's flight controls, airframe, or engine.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper decision to perform a go-around while on short final to an available runway following loss of engine power for undetermined reasons when engine power was regained momentarily, which resulted in an impact with terrain while maneuvering at a low altitude to avoid obstacles when engine power was lost a second time.
