Narrative:A Conair Group float-equipped Air Tractor AT-802A was conducting forest fire fighting operations from the Canadian Rockies International Airport (CYXC), BC, with 1 crew member on board. After releasing his payload on the Connell Ridge wildfire, the pilot applied power for the climb out but the engine power rolled back to idle. The pilot selected the Emergency
Power Lever but no more power was produced. The pilot selected an area for a forced approach and landed in a logged area with newly planted trees. The pilot sustained minor injuries and was taken by helicopter to receive medical aid. There was no post impact fire. The aircraft was substantially damaged.
