An investigation into the airframe, engine, and various engine accessories was conducted. During the inspection, the presence of fuel at the engine was confirmed. The examination of the engine and its components revealed no mechanical anomalies that could be identified as contributing factors to the incident. The specific reason for the engine power loss remains undetermined.
