THE PRIVATE RATED STUDENT PILOT AND CERTIFIED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR WERE ON A VFR CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT. TWENTY MILES FROM THE INTENDED DESTINATION, STUDENT PILOT STARTED DESCENT FROM CRUISING ALTITUDE OF 6,500 FEET. APPROXIMATELY FOUR MINUTES LATER THE ENGINE LOST POWER. A FORCED LANDING WAS MADE IN A FIELD. DURING LANDING ROLL THE AIRCRAFT HIT A DITCH SEPARATING THE FIELD THE PILOT LANDED IN AND THE FIELD ADJACENT TO IT. AFTER REMOVAL FROM THE FIELD, THE ENGINE WAS STARTED, AND RAN WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. CONDITIONS WERE FAVORABLE FOR CARBURETOR ICING, TEMPERATURE 72 DEGREES F, DEW POINT 53 DEGREES F.
Probable Cause: INATTENTIVENESS OF BOTH THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR AND THE STUDENT PILOT, AND FAILURE TO USE CARBURETOR HEAT. A FACTOR RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT IS THE UNSUITABLE TERRAIN ENCOUNTERED DURING THE FORCED LANDING.
