The aircraft with an instructor and student on board, took off from the airport of Madrid-Cuatro Vientos, with the intention of making takeoffs and landings. After a takeoff, the aircraft joined the traffic circuit. When turning to base leg of runway 28, the student cut the gas leaving the engine idling. Moments later, he felt he needed more power, and added power, but this action had no effect on the engine. After several attempts the pilot had to make a forced landing in a field. The aircraft contacted the ground a few meters before reaching the selected site in an area with very steep upslope, breaking the nose gear, which caused the aircraft to flip upside down. The two occupants of the aircraft were unharmed and were able to leave on their own.
