Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
While at cruise a total loss of engine oil pressure occurred with the engine seizing shortly afterwards. The aircraft was force landed into trees in a remote area. The aircraft came to rest inverted. Due to the position of the aircraft, examination of the engine was not possible. Cause of the loss of oil pressure was not determined.
