Analysis

The acft was engaged in spraying a rice field when, according to the plt, a total loss of power occurred. The acft was subsequently damaged during a forced landing in an open field. Due to the lack of fuel which he observed after the accident, the acft owner stated he believed the plt ran out of fuel. A post accident engine run was successful and no mechanical descrepancies were found.
