THE PILOT OF HIS HOMEBUILT AIRPLANE STATED THAT HE HAD COMPLETED A SUCCESSFUL RUN-UP CHECK AND THEN HE DEPARTED RUNWAY 34 TO PRACTICE VARIOUS MANEUVERS OVER THE WATER. HE STATED THAT HE MADE A RIGHT TURN AFTER TAKEOFF, AND AS THE AIRPLANE WAS 2 MILES SOUTH OF THE AIRPORT AT AN ALTITUDE OF 1500 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND, HE NOTICED THE PROPELLER WAS NOT TURNING, AND THAT HE HAD LOST ENGINE POWER. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE ESTABLISHED A GLIDE SPEED OF 90 MPH AND TRIED TO RETURN TO THE AIRPORT, BUT DUE TO INSUFFICIENT ALTITUDE A FORCED LANDING WAS MADE IN THE BAY. THE EXAMINATION OF THE AIRPLANE BY THE FAA DID NOT DISCLOSE EVIDENCE OF MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION.
Probable Cause: LOSS OF ENGINE POWER DUE TO UNDETERMINED REASONS.
