Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Goodlett, Texas 79252
Saturday, June 11, 2005 18:45 CDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The 700-hour pilot reported that after completing aerial application of fertilizer on a field, the engine lost power. The pilot performed a forced landing to an adjacent field which was soft. During the landing roll, the left main landing gear collapsed and the airplane struck a barbwire fence. No mechanical anomalies were noted with the engine or airframe during an on-site examination. The reason for the loss of engine power could not be determined.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. A contributing factor was the lack of suitable terrain (soft) for the forced landing.
