| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot stated that while in cruise flight at an altitude of 2,000 feet, the airplane's engine surged and began losing power, so he made a forced landing to a road, and during the landing rollout, the landing gear dug into soft sand, and the airplane came to an abrupt halt, incurring damage. Postcrash examination revealed the presence of some rust in a fuel sample taken from the drain located on the firewall, however no contamination was noted from the sample taken from the carburetor. Examination of the engine and airframe did not reveal any anomalies.
Probable Cause: A loss of engine power for undetermined reasons, which resulted in a forced landing.
