Narrative:SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF FOR THE DUAL INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR ATTEMPTED TO LAND IN A FIELD STRAIGHT AHEAD. PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN, THE AIRPLANE'S RIGHT WING STRUCK A TREE AND THE AIRPLANE SPUN AROUND IMPACTING THE GROUND TAIL FIRST ON A HEADING OPPOSITE TO THE FLIGHT PATH. THE INSTRUCTOR REPORTED DRAINING 'AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF WATER' FROM THE LEFT FUEL TANK DURING THE PREFLIGHT. HE FURTHER REPORTED DRAINING THE TANK 'PERSISTENTLY UNTIL IT SEEMED CLEAR OF WATER.' FOLLOWING THE ACCIDENT, APPROXIMATELY ONE QUART OF WATER WAS DRAINED FROM THE GASCOLATOR AND THE LEFT FUEL TANK.
Probable Cause: THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER DUE TO WATER CONTAMINATION OF THE FUEL. A FACTOR WAS THE LACK OF SUITABLE TERRAIN FOR THE FORCED LANDING.
