| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that, while in cruise flight at an altitude of 1,500 ft above ground level, the experimental, amateur-built airplane experienced a total loss of engine power. He conducted a forced landing to a field, during which the landing gear separated, and the airplane sustained substantial damage. Examination of the airframe and engine revealed no evidence of preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
Although the weather conditions in the area of the accident site were conducive to the formation of carburetor ice at cruise power settings, based on the available information, it could not be determined if carburetor icing played a role in the loss of engine power.
Probable Cause: A total loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined based on the available information.
