After rejecting the first takeoff due to low power, the pilot attempted a second takeoff. The engine lost power during climbout, forcing an off-field landing where the left wing struck the ground. Post-accident examination found no mechanical malfunction; weather was favorable for carburetor ice.

Accident Summary

The pilot initiated a takeoff but failed to develop sufficient power, leading to a rejected takeoff. Subsequently, the pilot performed another runup check before attempting a second takeoff. During the climbout of the second takeoff, the engine lost power, compelling the pilot to land the airplane off-field. Upon landing, the left wing struck the ground.

Post-Accident Examination

A post-accident examination of the aircraft's engine was conducted. The examination did not reveal evidence of any mechanical malfunction. Weather conditions at the time of the accident were noted to be favorable for the formation of carburetor ice.

Investigation and Findings

No further information regarding the aircraft type, registration, operator, location, or injuries was provided in the source. The investigation focused on the engine examination and weather conditions. The absence of mechanical malfunction leaves the possibility of carburetor icing as a contributing factor, though the source does not explicitly state this as the cause.
