## Narrative

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

PILOT DECLARED A MAYDAY ON 3 MILE FINAL APPROACH TO RWY 32 AND LANDED SHORT OF THE RWY, OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES ARE UNKNOWN. (.19) ON JULY 1, 1999, AT 1606 MOUNTAIN DAYLIGHT TIME, A CESSNA 182A, N6165B, OWNED AND OPERATED BY MCCULLOUGH ENGINEERING, WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED DURING A FORCED LANDING IN SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH.  THE PRIVATE PILOT, THE ONLY OCCUPANT ABOARD, WAS NOT INJURED.  VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED, AND NO FLIGHT PLAN HAD BEEN FILED FOR THE PERSONAL FLIGHT BEING CONDUCTED UNDER TITLE 14 CFR PART 91.  THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED IN LOA, UTAH, AT AN UNDETERMINED TIME.  PRELIMINARY INFORMATION INDICATES THE AIRPLANE WAS ON FINAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 35 AT SALT LAKE CITY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT WHEN THE ENGINE LOST POWER.  THE PILOT MADE AN OFF-AIRPORT FORCED LANDING IN A FIELD.  THE AIRPLANE STRUCK A CURB, SEVERAL SIGNS, AND A FENCE BEFORE COMING TO A HALT.  REPORTS INDICATE THE WINGS WERE EXTENSIVELY DAMAGED.                                       (-23) PILOT INITIATED A DESCENT USING FULL FLAPS AND A SIDE SLIP, WITH THROTTLE REDUCED TO IDLE AND MIXTURE FULL RICH.  WHEN THROTTLE WAS INCREASED AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE SLIP, POWER WAS NOT RESTORED.  PILOT LANDED IN A ROA D, HIT A CURB, A STOP SIGN, A BUS SIGN, DEBRIS IN A FIELD, AND A FENCE, AND CAME TO REST APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET FROM THE INITIAL POINT. THE NOSE GEAR WAS SNAPPED FROM THE AIRCRAFT, AND THE TWO MAINS WERE FLATTENED BY THE IMPACT.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
