Read the full NTSB narrative

THE STUDENT PILOT DESCENDED FROM 1450 FEET TO 1000 FEET AND ENTERED THE TRAFFIC PATTERN. JUST BEFORE TURNING BASE, HE APPLIED CARBURETOR HEAT AND TEN SECONDS LATER THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND QUIT. UNSUITABLE TERRAIN MADE THE FORCED LANDING A HARD LANDING. AN AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTION OF THE SYSTEMS WAS MADE AND NO PRE-IMPACT PROBLEMS WERE IDENTIFIED. THE ENGINE WAS OPERATED NORMALLY FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTE. WX CONDITIONS HAD A TEMP/DEN POINT COMBINATION THAT WERE FAVORABLE FOR MODERATE CARB ICE DURING CRUISE & SERIOUS ICING DURING GLIDE POWER ON THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT.
