AAIB investigation to Team Minimax 91, G-BZOR
Loss of engine power leading to forced landing, Godshill, New Forest, 19 May 2019.
Summary:
During the cruise at 2,000 ft, G-BZOR’s engine began running roughly and lost power. Unable to maintain height, the pilot positioned the aircraft for a forced landing on open heathland. Just as the aircraft came to rest it tipped forward onto its nose causing minor damage to the airframe and a brake cable. The cause of the engine failure was traced to a faulty stator in the ignition system.
