Probable cause
The loss of engine oil pressure during cruise flight, which resulted in partial loss of engine power and necessitated a forced landing. The loss of oil pressure was the result of a failed engine piston, likely initiated by foreign object damage, which resulted in the pressurization of the crankcase and expulsion of the engine oil.
