| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot stated that he was en route to Columbus-Lowndes County Airport, and the aircraft engine ceased operating 10 minutes into the flight. He further stated that he had attempted to restart the engine, but was unsuccessful, so he executed a forced landing to an open area, surrounded by timber, and during the landing the airplane incurred damage. Follow-on examination of the accident airplane revealed that a fuel line was being crushed between the seat and the frame, which starved the engine of fuel.
Probable Cause: the owner/builder's improper installation that resulted in the fuel line being snagged, resulting in fuel starvation and an inflight loss of engine power and subsequent damage to the airplane during the forced landing.
