What happened
Shortly after departing the airport, the pilot experienced a complete loss of engine power for reasons that were not immediately determined. With no option to return to the departure field or reach another suitable airfield, the pilot initiated a forced landing in the surrounding terrain.
The aircraft made initial ground contact on a gentle upslope while maintaining a wings-level attitude with the nose slightly pitched down. However, approximately 20 feet after this initial touchdown, the airplane slid forward into two fence posts and associated wire fencing material. This impact caused the aircraft to nosed over violently.
Following the rollover, a post-impact fire ignited and rapidly consumed the wreckage, resulting in total destruction of the aircraft.
