Flight Design CTSW, G-CERA

Summary:

The aircraft suffered a loss of engine power shortly after takeoff and crashed in a built-up area. The two occupants received minor injuries, but no one on the ground was injured. No mechanical defects were found during strip examination of the engine. There was insufficient evidence to establish the cause of the loss of power, but an interruption in the fuel supply is believed to be the most likely cause.
