Approximately 20 miles from the destination airport, while nearing completion of an IFR cross-country flight, the pilot had descended from his cruising altitude of 10,000 feet to 8,000 feet as assigned by approach control. Shortly after stabilizing at the lower altitude, the engine lost all power. After unsuccessfully attempting to restart the engine, the pilot made an emergency landing on broken prairie terrain 10 miles from the airport. The aircraft struck a dirt bank during the landing. No evidence was found of malfunction or preimpact damage to the engine.
Probable Cause: A forced landing on unsuitable terrain following a total loss of power for non mechanical reasons. Factors were the pilot's failure to follow emergency procedures for restarting the engine, operating the aircraft with known deficiencies, and inaccurate planning and decision making.
