| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that, while descending in the single-engine airplane toward the destination airport, the engine lost partial power. He performed a forced landing to a dirt road, during which the airplane contacted a bush, resulting in substantial damage.
Postaccident examination of the engine and an engine test run revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal operation. Atmospheric conditions at the time of the accident were not conducive to the development of carburetor icing. The reason for the partial loss of engine power could not be determined based on the available information.
Probable Cause: A partial loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined based on the available information.
