## Narrative

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

(-23)WHILE PERFORMING A TOUCH AND GO ON RUNWAY 15 AT PMP, THE PIC AND HIS PASSENGER BOTH DETECTED A STRONG FUEL ODOR WHILE ON CLIMB-OUT. SUBSEQUENTLY THE ENGINE BEGAN TO FAIL AT APPROXIMATELY 600 FEET AGL.  AFTER SECURING THE FUEL PUMP AND VALVES, THE PIC SELECTED A GOLF DRIVING RANGE TO PERFORM AN EMERGENCY LANDING.  THE NOSE WHEEL, LEFT MAIN WHEEL, AND LEFT WING TIP STRUCK THE GROUND SIMULTANEOUSLY APPROXIMATELY 20 YARDS (PACED) BEYOND THE FENCE ON ABOUT 060 DEGREE HEADING.  AFTER THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED APPROXIMATELY 70 YARDS (PACED) THE NOSE WHEEL STOPPED TURNING.  THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO ROLL WITH THE NOSE WHEEL DRAGGING FOR NEARLY 90 YARDS (PACED) MORE UNTIL IT CAME TO REST IN THE MIDDLE SEGMENT OF THE DRIVING RANGE.  ON-SITE INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE NIPPLE ASSEMBLY THAT CONNECTS THE GASCOLATOR OUTLET TO THE CARBURETOR FUEL INLET WAS BROKEN.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES.  THERE WAS NO FIRE.

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.
