| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The private pilot departed on a cross-country flight in the light sport airplane. After leveling off at a cruise altitude about 2,500 ft, the pilot turned off the electric fuel pump and saw an initial decrease in fuel pressure followed by a return to the normal range. About 5-10 minutes later, the engine began to run rough, and the pilot turned on the electric fuel pump. The engine ran smoothly for a short time then experienced a total loss of power, and the pilot conducted a forced landing to a dirt road.
A postaccident test run of the engine revealed no anomalies when the engine was operated at low rpm. The engine could not be run at full power due to the damage sustained to its mounts during the forced landing. Based on the available information, the reason for the loss of engine power could not be determined.
Probable Cause: A total loss of engine power during cruise flight for reasons that could not be determined based on the available information.
