While the pilot was climbing and at around 4,500 ft, he was confronted with a sudden failure of the engine. After shutting down the engine, he made an off-airfield forced landing. On short final, he was lower than planned and was not able to maintain sufficient clearance with the vegetation. The tip of the right wing struck a tree before the intended field.
Contributing factors
The investigation showed that the failure of the engine was caused by the rupture of the small end of one of the engine rods. It was not possible to determine what caused this rupture.
The exceedance of the TBO of the engine which had logged 2,800 operating hours whereas the TBO recommended by the manufacturer is 2,400 hours may have contributed to the in-flight failure of the engine.
It is possible that after shutting down the engine, the pilot misestimated the glide performance of the aeroplane with the engine shut down.
