| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that the engine started running roughly about 8 to 10 minutes into an agricultural application flight. He tried various magneto switch positions to troubleshoot the problem; however, the engine continued to lose power, so the pilot executed a forced landing in trees on flat terrain. Postaccident engine examinations revealed that the engine's propeller was locked in place due to a failure in the engine power section.
Probable Cause: The mechanical failure of the engine power section, which resulted in a loss of engine power.
