On 29 August 2007, the pilot flew from Rand aerodrome (FAGM) on a training flight to the general flying area (GF), and then headed back to FAGM. While he was on final approach for runway 35, the engine stopped and he made a Mayday call to FAGM tower on frequency 118.7 MHz. The aeroplane was too far from the runway for a normal landing, and after unsuccessfully trying to restart the engine, the pilot executed a forced landing in an open field in Lambton. The aircraft collided with a rock before coming to a halt. The investigation found that the engine had stopped due to fuel starvation. Probable Cause Engine stoppage due to fuel starvation.
