## Narrative

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

(-23)THE AIRCRAFT WAS MAKING A TAKE-OFF, THE FUEL TANKS WERE FULL, AND AFTER BECOMING AIRBORNE, THE AICRAFT'S ENGINE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. THE PILOT MADE AM EMERGENCY LANDING.  THE FIELD WAS SOFT AND THE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED.  THE AIRCRAFT SUFFERED MINOR DAMAGE.  THE PILOT WAS COUNSELED ON PROPER PRE-FLIGHT AND CHECKLIST PROCEDURES.  NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND WITH THE ENGINE.

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.
