| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot stated the engine quit during flight, so he landed the airplane in a river and swam ashore. The airplane was submerged for more than 24-hours before being recovered. After recovery the airframe and engine were examined, but water, impact, and recovery damage inhibited thorough examinations. The fuel system was completely contaminated by water, and it could not be determined if fuel was present at the time of the accident. Examination of the electrical system could not be performed due to water damage. No obvious mechanical anomalies with the airframe or engine were found, and the reason for the reported loss of engine power could not be determined.
Probable Cause: A total loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined based on available evidence.
