Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot stated that the preflight inspection, engine start, engine run-up and takeoff were all normal, and there was no indication of any problems with the engine. After liftoff, when the airplane was about 500 ft above the ground, the engine stopped producing power, but the propeller continued to windmill. The pilot lowered the nose and began a gradual turn back toward the runway. The airplane landed on the grass and struck the airport’s perimeter fence, resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage and wings. Data downloaded from the onboard engine monitor indicated a fluctuation in fuel flow prior to the loss of power. Postaccident examination of the fuel-injected engine and the airplane’s fuel system revealed no evidence of any preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. Therefore, the reason for the total loss of engine power was not determined.
