## Narrative

FORCED LANDING IN GULF WHEN ENGINE LOST POWER. PASSENGER AND PILOT GOT OUT SAFELY. PLANE SANK IN 65 FT OF WATER.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
