Cat. 2 investigation report: simplified-format report, adapted to the circumstances of the occurrence and the investigation stakes.
While the pilot was climbing and at around 4,500 ft, he was confronted with a sudden failure of the engine. After shutting down the engine, he made an off-airfield forced landing. On short final, he was lower than planned and was not able to maintain sufficient clearance with the vegetation. The tip of the right wing struck a tree before the intended field.
