Probable cause

A total loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examinations did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB narrative

The student pilot reported that the purpose of the flight was to practice touch-and-go landings. After the third landing, the airplane lifted off the ground. Shortly thereafter, the engine surged and lost power, followed by a second surge and loss of power. The flight instructor took control of the airplane, and it subsequently impacted the ground at the end of the runway. A postaccident examination of the engine revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
