During the return leg of a pleasure flight, while the pilot was flying at low altitude and reduced speed over the north bank of the Loire River, the engine of the Cessna 177 suffered a power loss for a reason that the investigation could not determine. The low altitude and reduced speed of the aircraft at the time of the engine failure limited the pilot's choice of trajectory and availability. After a quick and unsuccessful search for the failure, the pilot managed to adapt a substantially direct trajectory to perform a forced landing in a field.
During the landing roll, the change in ground conditions caused the nose gear to collapse. The level of residual energy at that moment was sufficient to generate an injury to the pilot who had not fastened his harness.
