| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The student pilot reported that while en route on the solo cross-country flight, the engine began to lose power and subsequently quit. He was able to restart the engine, but not able to maintain altitude due to the low power it was producing. The pilot performed an off airport landing and during the landing roll, the airplane struck desert vegetation, which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage and wings. A postaccident inspection of the engine revealed no mechanical problems that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: A loss of engine power during cruise flight for undetermined reasons, which resulted in a forced landing and impact with terrain.
