## Narrative

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

ENGINE QUIT DURING CRUISE FLIGHT AND AN OFF-AIRPORT LANDING WAS PERFROMED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE OCCUPANTS OR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.  THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE FAILURE APPEARS TO BE A BROKEN EXHAUST VALVE, ACCORDING TO A MECHANIC WHO INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
