What happened
The aircraft experienced a sudden loss of power accompanied by a propeller overspeed condition. In response to the mechanical failure, the pilot initiated a forced landing procedure. During the approach, the pilot identified two potential landing sites but was unable to utilize them due to the presence of power lines crossing both areas. Consequently, the pilot selected a road as an alternative landing site.
During the landing rollout on the chosen road, the aircraft's wing tip struck the top of a fence. The impact resulted in damage to the aircraft structure. Post-accident examination revealed that the failure originated from the number 5 rod bolt, which had failed during operation.
The investigation
Examination of the aircraft components identified the specific mechanical cause of the incident. The number 5 rod bolt was found to have failed, leading to the subsequent propeller overspeed and loss of power.
