## Narrative

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

(-23)ON SUNDAY, JUNE 25, I WAS FLYING AN EXPERIMENTAL YAK 52 N105YK, WHICH IS BASED HERE AT CPA IN MOSES LAKE. A THOROUGH PREFLIGHT WAS COMPLETED AND NO ANOMALIES WERE FOUND.  A PASSENGER AND MYSELF DEPARTED FROM RUNWAY 04 AND WERE CLIMBING THROUGH 300 FT. MSL, 5 MILES FROM THE DEPARTURE END WHEN THE OIL "CHIP LIGHT BEGAN TO FLICKER.  ALL INDICATION FROM TEMPERATURES, PRESSURE, ETC. WAS NORMAL SO WE DECIDED TO TURN BACK TOWARD THE AIRPORT.  WITHIN APP. 15 SECONDS A LOUD "POP" WAS HEARD, THE ENGINE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY AND LOST ALMOST ALL POWER. I ADVISED THE TOWER WE HAD ENGINE FAILURE AND WISHED TO RETURN TO LAND.  THEY CLEARED US TO LAND ON ANY RUNWAY AND WE ACCEPTED  STRAIGHT IN FOR 22. THE LANDING WAS UNEVENTFUL AND WE TOWED THE AICRAFT TO THE HANGER.

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.
