Probable cause
the pilot's failure to maintain an adequate airspeed while maneuvering to return to the runway following a loss of engine power in the takeoff initial climb. The loss of power was probably due to the pilot's failure to ensure that an adequate fuel supply existed in the main tank prior to departure, and, his failure to ensure that the fuel boost pump was turned on.
