NTSB narrative
After performing a preflight inspection and a successful run-up of the engine, the pilot initiated a takeoff. After becoming airborne, the engine “faltered.” The pilot lowered the nose, decreased the flaps, and confirmed that the throttle was set at the full power position, but the airplane continued to descend. During a precautionary landing, the airplane bounced; on the second touchdown the tires sunk into the snow and the airplane nosed over, coming to rest inverted.
The pilot reported that he did not believe there was any type of internal engine failure. A postaccident engine run revealed no evidence of any preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. A review of the weather conditions found that they were not conducive to carburetor ice. A reason for the partial loss of engine power could not be determined based on the available information.
Probable cause
A partial loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined based on available information, which resulted in a precautionary landing and impact with snow.

- Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
- Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: investigation status, cause areas. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
- The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
