THE PILOT DEPARTED ON A CROSS COUNTRY WITH SCHEDULED LANDINGS AT THREE AIRPORTS. AFTER DEPARTING THE LAST SCHEDULED STOP, CRUISE WAS ESTABLISHED AT 1,800 FEET. FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER, A POPPING SOUND WAS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE AND ABOUT A MINUTE LATER ENGINE POWER WAS LOST WITHOUT FURTHER WARNING. THE AIRPLANE IMPACTED A TREE PRIOR TO SUBMERGING IN A RIVER. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE HAD 25 GALLONS OF FUEL REMAINING PRIOR TO HIS LAST DEPARTURE. ENGINE TEARDOWN FAILED TO DISCLOSE ANY MECHANICAL PROBLEM THAT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED NORMAL ENGINE OPERATION.
Probable Cause: THE TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER FOR UNDETERMINED REASONS. FACTORS WERE THE DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT AND THE LACK OF SUITABLE TERRAIN AVAILABLE TO THE PILOT FOR THE FORCED LANDING.
