## Analysis

THE PLT REPORTED THAT 5 MINUTES AFTER TAKEOFF, AT NORMAL CRUISE, THE ENGINE QUIT. HE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE BUT TO NO AVAIL. HE SELECTED A PASTURE, AND DURING THE LANDING ROLL THE AIRPLANE STRUCK A FENCE AND A DITCH, DAMAGING THE LANDING GEAR, RIGHT WING, AND HORIZONTAL STABILIZER. A POST-ACCIDENT ENGINE RUN FAILED TO REVEAL ANY EVIDENCE TO EXPLAIN THE REPORTED ENGINE FAILURE.
