Read the full NTSB narrative
THE PILOT STATED THAT HE HAD INTENTIONALLY SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE-- SO AS TO ATTEMPT A POWER OFF 'DEADSTICK' LANDING. AS HE WAS DESCENDING, THE PILOT CHANGED HIS PLANS AND DECIDED TO RESTART THE ENGINE--BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. WHILE ATTEMPTING THE RE-START, THE WINDS ALOFT CARRIED THE AIRPLANE AWAY FROM THE AIRPORT. THE PILOT DID NOT COMPENSATE FOR THE WINDS AND CRASH LANDED IN A DITCH, JUST SHORT OF THE AIRPORT. A POST-CRASH INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE REVEALED NO PRE-EXISTING MECHANCIAL DISCREPANCIES.
