Confidence Rating: Accident investigation report completed and information captured
Narrative:
The pilot reported that the twin-engine airplane's right engine lost power about 20 minutes after takeoff. The pilot's activation of the electric boost pump restored power for a short time before the power on the right engine was again lost, after which the pilot shut down the right engine and feathered the propeller. The pilot diverted to another airport, but the airplane was unable to maintain altitude. As a result, the pilot executed a forced landing to a field, which resulted in substantial damage to the airplane.

Postaccident examination revealed no anomalies with the right engine that would have precluded normal operations. Given the available evidence for this investigation, the cause of the right engine's loss of power could not be determined.

Probable Cause: A forced landing due to a loss of engine power on the right engine for a reason that could not be determined based on the available evidence.
