Read the full NTSB narrative
THE PILOT STATED THAT THE POWERPLANT WAS PERFORMING NORMALLY DURING INITIAL CLIMB WHEN, SUDDENLY, THE ENGINE EXPERIENCED A POWER LOSS AFTER BACKFIRING. IMMEDIATE REMEDIAL ACTION RESULTED IN A PARTIAL POWER OUTPUT BUT NOT ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN FLIGHT. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES WERE IMPLEMENTED AND AN OFF-AIRPORT LANDING WAS ATTEMPTED BUT THE TERRAIN WAS WET AND MUDDY AND THE AIRCRAFT NOSED OVER DURING THE LANDING ROLL.
