Accident Number: WPR21LA282
Date and Time: June 5, 2021, 15:55 Local

Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Personal
On June 05, 2021, about 1555 Pacific daylight time, a Jabiru J230-SP, N733J, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident in Oceano, California. The pilot and the passenger sustained minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported that after a local flight, he entered the airport traffic pattern and made an approach to runway 29. The approach was too fast, and he aborted the landing. During the climb on the upwind leg of the airport traffic pattern, the engine began to sputter, and a partial loss of engine power ensued. He checked the fuel selector position, which indicated “Both” and the fuel pump was in the “On” position. He verified that the engine throttle control was full forward, that the mixture was rich, and that the carburetor heat was off.
The airplane continued to climb, at reduced power, to traffic pattern altitude. The pilot then initiated an approach and deployed full flaps but maintained a rich mixture and full throttle. Once confident that the airplane would reach the runway, he retarded the throttle to idle and initiated a landing. The airplane touched down fast, veered left, exited the left side of the runway and nosed over. The airplane came to rest in the safety area on the left side of runway 29.
