Flight Design CT2K, G-CBUF

Summary:

Whilst in a steep continuous orbit to the left at relatively low level, the engine stopped suddenly, leaving little time for the pilot to plan for a forced landing. After touching down in a field of standing corn, the aircraft flipped over on to its back. The occupants were uninjured and vacated the aircraft through the doors. Two safety recommendations are made relating to the fuel system design.
