DRNG THE PULL UP THE ACFT STALLED AND IMPACTED THE GRND IN A NOSE LOW, WINGS LEVEL ATTITUDE. THE PLT STATED THAT DRNG THE TKOF THE ENG APPEARED TO BE OPERATING NORMALLY. (EVIDENCE INDICATED THAT THE PLT HAD INTENTIONALLY LANDED ON THE ROAD TO VISIT A BUSINESS ASSOCIATE, HOWEVER, HE INDICATED IN AN INITIAL INTERVIEW THAT HE HAD LANDED DUE TO A ROUGH RUNNING ENG THAT ALLEVIATED ITSELF ONCE HE WAS ON THE GRND.
