An Extra EA 400 was flying from Pribram to Moravska Trebova after an engine installation when the engine lost power about 15 minutes into the flight. Coolant leaked into the cabin and over the windshield, so the pilot made an emergency landing in a field near Vrchotovy Janovice, where the airplane overturned. The pilot was lightly injured. The Czech investigation attributed the event to a coolant leak from the engine.
