## Narrative

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

(-23)ON 05/05/2000 BOEING TGFEC EXPERIENCED A PARTIAL POWER LOSS. WHILE ON APPROACH TO SILVER SPRINGS AIRPORT THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK POWER LINES WITH THE TAIL WHEEL. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED ON THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT.  IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE RIGHT MAGNETO HAD INTERNAL ARCING THAT CAUSED THE LOSS OF POWER.  THE MAGNETO WAS REPAIRED AND THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED ON TO CANADA.

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.
