The pilot and passenger were performing a navigation flight from LKBE (Benešov) with a planned landing at LKJI (Jihlava). After about 40 minutes of flight, after descending in a turn, at an altitude of about 200 m AGL, when increasing the engine power into the climb, an irregular engine operation and loss of power occurred. The pilot noticed low fuel pressure. Turning on the booster pump had no effect. The pilot performed the procedure for an emergency landing in a field of vegetated crop. The landing occurred at the correct airspeed. A wing contact with the crop occurred, resulting in landing gear destruction in the wet surface. The passenger on the ground pulled the launch handle of the emergency parachute ballistic system, activating it.
