## Narrative

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

MR. LUNDS ENGINE QUIT IN FLIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 200' AGL AFTER TAKEOFF. HE MADE AN EMERGENCY LANDING IN A SOYBEAN FIELD. HE ELECTED TO MUSH IT IN FEARING A CONVENTIONAL LANDING WOULD RESULT IN A NOSE OVER. THE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED ON IMPACT AND THE AIRCRAFT SLID TO A STOP (30').

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.
