Narrative:
The amateur-built Pioneer 300 aircraft took off from the Casarrubios del Monte with a pilot and a passenger on board bound for the Mutxamel. When they had been flying for approximately 30 minutes and were cruising with a tailwind, the propeller detached, striking the skin of the upper surface of the right wing.
The pilot made an emergency landing on a nearby farmland, about 5 km east of Belmonte (Cuenca). To do this he made a 180º turn and landed facing the wind.
The pilot and passenger were uninjured. In addition to the loss of the propeller in flight, the aircraft suffered damage to the nose, to the upper surface of the right wing and to the fuselage structure where the right landing gear leg is embedded.
