Event Summary
During the final approach, the student pilot noted the descent path was slightly high and reduced power. After reducing to 1400 RPM, the throttle was advanced, but the engine ceased operating at that point. The aircraft touched down approximately 300 feet short of the runway surface and continued into a fence.
Sequence of Events
The fence caught the nose landing gear, turning the aircraft slightly to the left. Subsequently, the right wing tip struck the ground, and the aircraft slowly rolled over onto its back.
Post-Accident Actions
The aircraft was sold for salvage before any examination of the engine or airframe could be conducted.
