## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: AIRCRAFT DEVELOPED ENGINE TROUBLE, LOST OIL PRESSURE. PILOT LANDED IN A FIELD. NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES. ENGINE DAMAGE DUE TO A CYLINDER FAILURE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
