Flight Design CSTW light sport airplane, N378CT, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Santa Fe, New Mexico. The flight instructor was not injured and the pilot receiving instruction sustained a minor injury.
The flight instructor reported they were returning to their departure airport at an altitude of about 7,500 ft mean sea level when he noticed the oil pressure had decreased and of the other engine indications appeared normal. He climbed to a higher altitude, monitored the oil pressure, and positioned the airplane to fly over a suitable landing environment. The oil pressure continued to decrease and when the pressure reached about 4 psi, the engine abruptly came to a complete stop. The flight instructor made a forced landing on a dirt field about 8 miles south of the airport. During the ground roll, the nose wheel struck a rock and the airplane nosed over.
