Accident to the Robin DR400 - 140B registered F-GJZT on 10/08/2019 at Ceyssac (Haute-Loire)

The pilot, accompanied by three passengers, took off from Puy Loudes aerodrome (Haute-Loire) for an introductory flight. About seven minutes into the flight, with the aircraft at an altitude of 4,500 feet, the pilot noted a decrease in engine power and that the fuel pressure light was on. He turned on the electric pump. This action had no effect on the engine, which was no longer delivering power. The pilot selected a field to land in. During the landing, the aircraft touched down hard. The nose gear and the left main gear collapsed, the plane slid a few metres and then came to a stop.

The accident occurred during a forced landing following a loss of engine power in-flight due to fuel starvation.
