## Narrative

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

(-23)WHILE LANDING THE ENGINE LOST POWER. AIRCRAFT FORCED TO LAND OFF FIELD.  HARD LANDING IMPACT BROKE NOSE LANDING GEAR AND ROTOR DAMAGE OCCURRED AFTER CONTACT WITH EARTH.  NO INJURIES.  SUBSEQUENT AIRCRAFT EXAMINATION PREVEALED THAT IGNITION WIRE TERMINAL LUG BROKE OFF FROM SINGLE IGNITION.

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.
