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

(-23) ON 7/8/00 THE A/C DEPARTED COLLISION AIRPORT (ALSO KNOWN AS LEONARD AIRPORT) TO THE SOUTH WHEN THE ENGINE LOST POWER AT APPROX. 200 AGL. THE PILOT ATTEMPTED TO RETURN TO THE AIRPORT BUT ULTIMATELY STALLED THE A/C APPROX. 20 FEET AGL DURING AN EMERGENCY LANDING. THE A/C IMPACTED THE GROUND APPROX. 1/4 MILE SE OF THE AIRPORT CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO A/C. THE PILOT AND THE SOLE PASSENGER ABOARD RECEIVED MODERATE LACERATIONS AND CONTUSIONS THAT WERE NOT AT THE TIME OF THIS REPORT LIFE THREATENING. THE LOSS OF POWER WAS NOT FULLY DETERMINED BECAUSE THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS COMPROMISED DURING THE IMPACT.
