## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: MR. HOLCOMB HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS AIRCRAFT AND HAD ONLY FLOWN IT ABOUT A HOUR BEFORE THIS FLIGHT. THE AIRCRAFT WAS IN LEVEL FLIGHT JUST AFTER TAKEOFF, WHEN THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RUN ROUGH AND LOSE POWER. THE AIRCRAFT WAS UNABLE TO RETURN TO THE AIRPORT, AN OFF AIRPORT LANDING WAS MADE. THE AIRCRAFT FLIPPED OVER & STOPPED ON ITS BACK. THE PILOT RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES. THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE PROBLEMS WAS RUST OF INTAKE SYSTEM CAUSING SPARK PLUGS TO GROUND OUT.

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.
