From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Aircraft wasenroute to gcn from 61B performing a FAR 135 tour flight, when engine oil pressure and engine power was loss (engine quit). The engine will be torn down and inspected by hte manufacturing and a malfunction defect report (mdr) submitted. This item closed. On February 18,1999, I departd Boulder City in a Cessna turbo 207. I was going to the canyon do do a blue-2 tour. I had just crossed Mt. Wilson set the plane up for cruse flight and checked my instruments, when my engine cut out and stopped running. I looked at my oil pressure gauge and fuel pressure gauge and they both read zero. I then tried to restart the engine and it did not work. I pitched for best glide speed and looked for a place to set the plane down. Also at this time I radioed the other company planes in the area and told them of my condition,where I was, and what I was going to do. I spotted a road and started my land procedures. I scanned the road and saw no cars, and then I proceeded to land. After touch down I evacuated the passengers out of the aircraft and got them away from the plane. Then I snspected for fuel and oil leaks and found none. I then radioed the other company planes and told them that we were okay and waited for them to come and pick us up.
