Engine failure is most probably the cause for the crash. The pilot tried to land in a field but could not make it and the plane ended up between the trees. The pilot and passenger did not eject and were able to walk to a nearby farm to call the base and the gendarmerie.
The L-39 is currently at the BA106 for further investigation.

Best regards,
