## Narrative

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

ENGINE STOPPED DURING FLIGHT, PILOT MADE EMERGENCY LANDING IN REFUGE AREA. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT OF PROPERTY AND NO INJURIES.  FAA INSPECTION FOUND: THE OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR LINE FLANGE BROKE UNDER THE B-NUT AT THE ACCESSORY GEARBOX AND NO OIL REMAINING IN THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STOP IN FLIGHT.

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.
