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

(-16) ON NOVEMBER 30, 1995, AT APPROXIMATELY 2250 MST, A CESSNA 182Q, N735JN, WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED WHEN IT COLLIDED WITH TERRAIN DURING A FORCED LANDING NEAR EADS, COLORADO. THE PRIVATE PILOT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME. NO FLIGHT PLAN HAD BEEN FILED FOR THE PERSONAL FLIGHT THAT ORIGINATED AT ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO ON NOVEMBER 30, 1995, AT APPROXIMATELY 1995 MST. PRELIMINARY INFORMATION INDICATES THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS IN CRUISE FLIGHT WHEN THE PILOT HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER. THE PILOT DECLARED AN EMERGENCY WITH THE DENVER AUTOMATED FLIGHT SERVICE STATION AND MADE A FORCED LANDING IN A FIELD. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE SEPARATION OF THE NUMBER TWO CYLINDER FROM THE ENGINE. THE CAUSE OF THIS FAILURE IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME.
