A TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER DUE TO WORN SERRATED TEETH ON THE VALVE TIMING GEAR AND INTERMEDIATE CAMSHAFT DRIVE GEAR WHICH PREVENTED THE VALVE TRAIN AND GENERATOR FROM OPERATING. A FACTOR WAS THE LACK OF SUITABLE TERRAIN FOR THE FORCED LANDING.

FAILURE OF THE PILOT TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL WHICH RESULTED IN AN INADVERTENT GROUND SWERVE. THE CROSSWIND AND THE PILOT'S IMPROPER USE OF BRAKES WERE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS.
