Accident Narrative
The pilot was attempting to land the aircraft with a 15-knot tailwind, gusting to 20 knots. The density altitude exceeded 6,000 feet, and the runway was uphill with rising terrain ahead. The pilot decided to execute a go-around. Shortly after applying full power, the pilot reported that the engine ceased operating. The aircraft subsequently landed more than 400 feet beyond the end of the runway. During the landing roll, the aircraft struck a parked boat and two telephone poles.
Post-Accident Examination
Examination of the propeller, engine, and fuel system revealed no evidence of a loss of power. The propeller tips were curled 180 degrees on the working face, with chordwise scrapes present.
