On June 22, 2016, about 0800 mountain daylight time, a Burkes BR-1 airplane, N677DB, made a forced landing onto a field after experiencing a total loss of engine power. The airline transport pilot (sole occupant) was uninjured and the airplane sustained substantial damage to the wings. The airplane was registered to, and operated by, the pilot as a 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The local flight originated from Ogden-Hinckley Airport (OGD) at 0740.
The pilot reported that the purpose of the flight was a test flight. The airplane took off uneventfully and was operating normally. About twenty minutes into the flight the airplane's engine suddenly lost complete power with no indications or warning. The pilot executed a forced landing in a wheat field. As the airplane impacted the wheat, it nosed over and tumbled before coming to rest.
The airplane has been recovered to a secure location for further examination.
