A loss of engine power due to undetermined reason (s). A factor in this accident was the snow covered, rough/uneven terrain which caused the airplane to nose over during landing roll.

Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot said he was flying his airplane to a local area to practice aerial maneuvers. He reported that the engine began to run intermittently. As he continued his flight, the condition worsened and he attempted to return to his departure airfield under a partial power condition. He said that he had to secure the engine and execute a forced landing to a snow covered field. During the landing roll in the snow covered rough terrain, the airplane nosed over. A post-accident examination of the engine did not disclose a reason for the partial power condition.
