Read the full NTSB narrative
THE PIC SAID THAT HE DID AN ENGINE RUNUP AND ALLOWED THE ENGINE TO RUN ABOUT 6 ADDITIONAL MINUTES BEFORE COMMENCING THE TAKEOFF. THE PIC SAID THAT UPON REACHING 100 FEET ALTITUDE IN THE TAKEOFF SEQUENCE, HE OBSERVED A DECLINE IN ENGINE REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE AND MANIFOLD PRESSURE. A FORCED LANDING WAS ACCOMPLISHED AND THE AIRCRAFT FLIPPED INVERTED IN A MILO FIELD OFF THE RUNWAY. POST-CRASH INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF MECHANICAL PROBLEMS OR FUEL CONTAMINATION. ICING PROBABILITY CHARTS INDICATE THAT THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE CONDUCIVE TO THE FORMATION OF CARBURETOR ICE. THE PIC DID NOT USE CARBURETOR HEAT DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL OR DURING CLIMBOUT. HE INDICATED THAT HE CHECKED ITS FUNCTION DURING THE ENGINE RUN-UP, BUT DID NOT USE IT AFTER THAT.
