| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The aircraft collided with a dead tree whilst conducting a field landing exercise. It has not been possible to determine conclusively whether the aircraft was suffering from an engine problem, most likely carburettor icing, during the descent, however, the engine was under power at the point it collided with the tree. Had it been necessary, the aircraft should have been able to avoid the tree and carry out a landing in the field beyond. It was considered most likely that the pilots did not see the tree until it was too late to avoid it.
