Aircraft Accident/Incident Report
Canal Point, Florida 33438
Saturday, April 7, 2007 12:39 EDT
NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
While flying at 1,200 to 1,300 feet, the pilot-in-command incorrectly leaned the fuel/air ratio to the point of total loss of engine power. She enrichened the fuel/air ratio but was unsuccessful in restoring engine power. She maneuvered for a forced landing in a field but the flight was too fast and too low. She overshot the intended field and landed on an unlevel surface in a sugarcane field. During the landing roll, the nosewheel impacted a hole causing the nose wheel to separate. The airplane then nosed over coming to rest inverted partially submerged in a water retention ditch. Damage to both wings, and the vertical stabilizer were noted. No determination was made as to the reason the engine did not resume power after adequate fuel/air ratio was provided.
NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
The pilot-in-command's incorrect leaning of the fuel/air ratio resulting in the total loss of engine power during cruise flight.
