Read the full NTSB narrative

The fuel-injected engine lost power on final approach. Efforts to restore engine power were not successful and the flight instructor executed a forced landing about 1/2-mile short of the runway. A postimpact fire consumed portions of the fuselage and right wing. Postrecovery airframe and engine examinations revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal operations. However, examination of the airframe fuel system was hindered by the extent of the fire damage. Available information indicated that sufficient fuel was onboard for the airplane. As a result, the investigation was unable to determine the reason for the loss of engine power.
