| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
Shortly after takeoff, the airplane's engine experienced a total loss of power. Unable to restore engine power and at low altitude, the pilot performed a forced landing to a field. Examination of the engine found the accessory drive gears would not rotate when the propeller was turned. The reason the gears would not rotate was not located during that examination. After the airplane was released, a salvage facility performed a complete teardown of the engine and informed the pilot's mechanic that one of the accessory drive gears appeared to have backed out which impeded the other gears. While likely this was the cause of the engine power loss, no further information and could not be obtained.
Probable Cause: The total loss of engine power due to an accessory drive gear that backed out impeding the other gears.
