Diamond forced landing/engine failure Norway
Småfly nødlandet på islagt vann - nyheter - Dagbladet.no
Engine failure over wooded area to the east of Oslo. 2 POB taken to hospital for checkup.
Looks like Oslo Flying clubs LN-NEX DA40

Just another reason not to fly anything with a Thielert engine.
LN-NEX had an emergency landing at ENRY following an engine breakup(!) only a few years ago. Several DA-40's have been forced down due to engine problems during the last few years.

I can't see how the clam-shell door would have lifted?
The pictures were taken from the wrong side of the aircraft to see this, but that's what I'd do to get out in this situation.
Oddly enough, this is not mentioned in the POH at all. At least not in the PDF version that I'm using.

Exactly the same oil spillage on the belly as when the A/C landed at ENRY after the engine breakup...
As far as I've been informed, the occupants did not make their way out through the aft canopy; rather they were saved by pure luck and an escape hole in the front canopy. Not visible in any of the images here, though.
Great to know that the occupants were not injured, but taken into account the amount of engine-related problems on these aircraft, it's time to put them on the ground until further investigations have been completed. Something stinks.

Conspicuity stripes
When we did the Spitzbergen trip three years ago, GG-33s Bonanza (single) had to have orange "invasion stripes" put on the wings for our passage through Norway. These were to aid search, and rescue in the event of a downed aircraft. I see that this aircraft does not have such wing stripes, and it is easy to see how a white aircraft could disappear after a forced landing in such a snowy environment.

Classic forced landing
Note how the pilot kept the nose wheel off the snow, presumably until elevator authority was lost at ??kts. Nosed over 50-80ft after the nose wheel touched down. Nice one!

A bit of a sweeping statement given that the cause of this crash is not known yet!
Flyet hadde fått motortrøbbel,
men klarte å nødlande.
de har foretatt en vellykket nødlanding,
Det var to personer om bord. Én flyintruktør og en elev,
På tilbaketuren mot Kjeller fikk de motorproblemer og måtte nødlande
Begge som var ombord er i god behold.
Sorry, literal translation only - my other language is Danish (and unused since 1985) - not Norwegian!
Alarmen på Hovedredningssentralen på Sola gikk like før halv ett
Klokka 13.05 fant redningsmannskapene småfly
Ingen ble alvorlig skadd

....very successful emergency landing.... (And indeed it was given the ground conditions)
"Vellykket" does not imply luck or fortunate circumstances

Is there any accessible data on the engine failure rates of Thielert diesels as compared to Lycoming engines? Preferably broken down on technical and non-technical reasons?
The feeling one gets is that with a Thielert engine, "running" is but a temporary state in preparation for the next engine failure. Until there is data that proves otherwise, I'd be quite hesitant to fly one...

Once again, the "plastic fuselage" shown useful. Diamond can continue to say that none of their aircraft were broken after crash. Even the seats are integral part of the fuselage (that's why the rudder pedals have to be adjusted, and not the seats).
This is good after accident, as it reduces the risk of fire (less fuel spillage) and of shock for the occupants. No comments regarding the engine at this time.
