After a cross-country training flight with 3 take-offs and 2 landings, the pilot entered the circuit to make the final landing at the home base, EBKH. Not long after turning into the base leg, the student notified the instructor that the engine was losing power. After some confusion, the instructor took over control when already in final. Approx at 650 ft AGL, they both agreed that they were too low and too slow to reach the runway. There was a heavy upwind and they feared to touch the trees standing in the line of the runway. After looking around, the instructor decided to turn towards an open area with wind behind. They touched the ground for a first time before the first ditch and tried to pull the aircraft back up. Probably, the nose landing gear suffered some impact damage during this manoeuvre. After crossing the first ditch and the road, the nose landing gear broke when entering the second ditch bordering the road. The engine ploughed into the ground and the plane flipped over.
The two pilots untightened themselves and climbed out of the airplane. The instructor warned the rescue services.
Cause(s):
The cause of the accident was fuel exhaustion leading to a loss of engine power.
