## Narrative

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

(-23)THIS WAS A TEST FLIGHT CONDUCTED BY CESSNA AIRCRAFT, INC., FOR THE PURPOSE OF 'LIGHTING EVALUATION'. THERE WAS ONE PILOT AND ONE ENGINEER ABOARD THE AIRPLANE.  WHILE CRUISING AT 11,500 FEET THE PILOT REPORTED TO WICHIT A APPROACH CONTROL THAT THEY WERE EXPERIENCING ENGINE PROBLEMS.  THIS WAS FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BE ENGINE FAILURE.  THE PILOT LANDED IN AN OPEN FIELD WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT AND NO INJURIES TO THE OCCUPANTS.  THE AIRCRAFT AND THE ENGINE WERE BOTH EXPERIMENTAL.

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.
