Probable cause

Water contamination of the fuel due to the pilot’s inadequate preflight inspection, which led to a total loss of engine power. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s failure to complete the engine-out checklist, which resulted in an excessive loss of altitude and the inability to glide to the intended airport.
