THE PILOT STATED THAT, WHILE IN CRUISE FLIGHT IN IFR CONDITIONS AND MODERATE RAIN, THE AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENGINE WERE UNSUCESSFUL, AND A FORCED LANDING WAS PERFORMED. THE AIRCRAFT TRAVELED OVER A SLIGHT EMBANKMENT, THE NOSE WHEEL DUG INTO THE GROUND AND THE AIRCRAFT NOSED OVER. POST-ACCIDENT EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINE, ITS ACCESSORIES, AND THE FUEL SYSTEM REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF PRE-IMPACT MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT'S ENCOUNTER WITH UNSUITABLE TERRAIN DURING THE LANDING ROLL AFTER A FORCED LANDING. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS IN THIS ACCIDENT WERE THE TOTAL POWERPLANT FAILURE AND THE IFR WEATHER CONDITIONS WHICH LIMITED THE LANDING SITE SELECTION.
