What happened
While performing the departure climb, the aircraft suffered a sudden loss of engine power. In response to the power loss, the crew initiated emergency protocols and began a forced approach toward a nearby field to conduct an emergency landing.
During the descent and approach phase, the pilot identified a ditch crossing the intended landing path. To avoid this obstacle, the pilot maneuvered the aircraft to the right to align the flight path parallel to the ditch. As the aircraft was on its landing roll, the pilot attempted an evasive maneuver to prevent a collision with a nearby structure by intentionally performing a ground loop. During this attempt to avoid the building, the left wing of the aircraft made contact with the structure.
Findings
Post-accident inspections of the engine revealed that the unit had seized because of an internal mechanical failure. While the seizure was confirmed as the reason for the loss of power, the specific underlying cause of the internal engine failure remains undetermined.
