| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
During climb engine #1 suffered partial power loss, which could have been cured by switching on the auxiliary fuel pump. The engine was not feathered either.
The engine #2 cylinder #5 did not work due to the contaminated injector nozzle. The entire #2 fuel pump was corroded and heavily contaminated.
The aircraft was overloaded by 276 kg (14%).
Due to low clouds at 300 ft AGL a careful selection of a suitable location for an emergency landing was impossible. A belly landing was executed on a meadow.
PROBABLE CAUSE: Combination of unexplainable power loss on engine #1, one faulty cylinder on #2 engine, overloading and deficient execution of emergency procedures.
