## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT REPORTED THAT AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES INTO THE FLIGHT, JUST AFTER HE HAD FINISHED DISPENSING A LOAD OF ORGANIC LIQUID DEER REPELLENT (DEER FENCE, GARLIC AND EGG MIX), THE AIRCRAFT ENGINE QUIT. THE PILOT EXECUTED AN EMERGENCY LANDING IN THE FIELD IN FRONT OF HIM. THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN IN A DIRT FIELD IN A HORIZONTAL POSITION. THE MAIN LANDING GEAR STRUCK A DIRT PILE AND WAS TORN LOOSE FROM THE AIRCRAFT. THE AIRCRAFT NOSED OVER CAUSING THE PROPELLER TO STRIKE THE GOUND AND BEND. THERE WAS NOT OTHER APPARENT DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. A PRELIMINARY ON SIGHT INVESTIGATION WAS CONDUCTED, NO APPARENT DETERMINATION HAS NOT BEEN REACHED AS YET AS TO WHY THE ENGINE FAILED TO OPERATE. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY PURCHASED THE AIRCRAFT FROM THE OWNER, THE AIRCRAFT ENGINE HAS BEEN TAGGED WITH AN FAA FORM 8020-2. AIRCRAFT/PARTS IDENTIFICATION. WHEN THE AIRCRAFT IS MOVED BY THE NEW OWNER THE ENGINE WILL BE DISASSEMBLED AND THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE REPORTED TO THE FAA.
