| Ursel Airfield (EBUL) | |
| Investigating agency: | AAIU Belgium |
| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
During a simulated forced landing at EBUL the pilot realized at 1000 ft AGL he had missed the approach and decided to go around. The engine did not respond to the throttle opening and the pilot had no other choice than performing a forced landing on a field bordering the airfield. Before touch down, the right wing collided with a tree.
Causes:
The accident was caused by an undetected engine failure during an exercise of engine failure simulation. The cause of the engine failure could not be determined with certainty. However, the simulated inoperative engine probably became inoperative due to fuel starvation, but the investigation could not exclude a carburettor icing phenomenon.
