Incident Overview
While turning from left base to final for landing, the pilot of a multi-engine aircraft experienced a power loss on both left engines for undetermined reasons. Unable to maintain directional control, the pilot elected to reduce power on the right engines.
Forced Landing and Ground Contact
The aircraft was subsequently forced to land. During the landing roll, the aircraft collided with three ditches and small trees. As the aircraft touched down, both left engines resumed full power.
Pilot and Outcome
The pilot, who was the sole occupant on board, was uninjured.
Official Findings
The official probable cause is listed as "Loss of engine power for undetermined reasons." Three occurrences were identified: loss of engine power (reason undetermined), forced landing, and on-ground encounters with terrain (ditches) and objects (trees).
