Read the full NTSB narrative

PRIOR TO DEPARTURE THE PILOT PERFORMED A RUN-UP AND ENGINE CHECK. ALL INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL. THE PILOT STATED THAT THE TAKEOFF WAS NORMAL UNTIL 100 FEET WHEN AN ENGINE POWER LOSS WAS EXPERIENCED. HE ATTEMPTED TO LAND ON THE REMAINING RUNWAY, HOWEVER WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT BEFORE RUNNING OFF THE END INTO A GRASSY AREA. EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINE, ELECTRICAL AND FUEL SYSTEMS DID NOT REVEAL ANY SPECIFIC REASON FOR ENGINE FAILURE. ALL SYSTEMS INDICATED A NEED FOR MAINTENANCE.
