## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: THE AIRCRAFT, ON AN IFR CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT, ADVISED LUBBOCK APPROACH CONTROL OF ROUGH RUNNING ENGINE AND THAT THE AIRCRAFT WOULD BE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN ALTITUDE. THE PILOT ELECTED TO MAKE AN APPROACH AT THE NEAREST AIRPORT (PLAINVIEW, TX), WHERE THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY. INVESTIGATION AT PLAINVIEW, TX AND DISCUSSION WITH THE LAST REGISTERED OWNER FAILED TO ESTABLISH THE PILOT'S IDENTITY OR LOCATION OF AIRCRAFT.

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.
