DURING A PLEASURE FLIGHT, THE PILOT INTENTIONALLY SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND WAS FLYING THE AIRPLANE SIMILAR TO A SAILPLANE. TO RESTART THE ENGINE, HE WOULD DIVE THE AIRPLANE TO ATTAIN ENOUGH SPEED TO WINDMILL THE PROP. JUST BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, HE ALLOWED THE AIRPLANE TO DESCEND TO AN ALTITUDE THAT WAS TOO LOW TO ATTAIN ENOUGH AIRSPEED FOR A RESTART. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE PILOT MADE A FORCED LANDING AND THE AIRPLANE COLLIDED WITH A TREE. NO PRE-ACCIDENT FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION OF THE AIRPLANE WAS REPORTED.
