Read the full NTSB narrative
After taking off and approximately 400 feet above the ground, the airplane experienced a total loss of engine power. An emergency landing was attempted, which resulted in the airplane overruning the end of the runway, impacting a fence and a berm, and nosing over. Meteorological conditions at the time were conducive for carburetor icing. No mechanical malfunctions were reported by the pilot, and an examination of the airplane and engine by representatives from the NTSB and the FAA failed to reveal any anomalies which would have precluded normal operations.
