## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON 9/1/97, CESSNA 150M, N714ZZ, TOOK OFF FROM HARRIS RANCH, COALINGA, CA ON RUNWAY 14. THE PILOT ENCOUNTERED AN ENGINE REDUCTION OF SPEED TO 2100-2200 RPM AT AN ALTITUDE OF 100-150 AGL. A SHALLOW BANK TO THE LEFT WAS ACCOMPLISHED TO A HEADING OF APPROXIMATELY 300 DEGREES, WHERE THE AIRCRAFT WAS ROLLED LEVEL. APPROACHING MIDFIELD, THE PILOT NOTICED ANOTHER AIRCRAFT TAKING OFF. THE PILOT MADE AN AIRCRAFT ADVISORY OF THE EMERGENCY. N714ZZ CROSSED OVER THE RUNWAY AND STRUCK A WINDSOCK POLE WITH THE LEFT WING LEADING EDGE AT WING STATION 38. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. FAA INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT AND DETERMINED THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WAS THE RESULT OF A STUCK EXHAUST VALVE IN THE NUMBER 3 CYLINDER. THIS INCIDENT REPORT IS CONSIDERED CLOSED.

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.
