## Narrative

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

(-23) CASPER TOWER OBSERVED AN AIRCRAFT ON A 1200 TRANSPONDER CODE IN IFR WEATHER SOUTHEAST OF CASPER, WYOMING, AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE PILOT. HE ACCEPTED VECTORS TO THE AIRPORT, BUT BECAUSE OF A ROUGH RUNNING ENGINE, HE COULD NOT MAINTAIN ALTITUDE AND LANDED IN A FIELD 2 MILES NORTH OF THE AIRPORT. NO DAMAGE WAS INCURRED. A GROUND CREW ASSISTED HIM PRIOR TO DEPARTURE FROM THE EMERGENCY LANDING FIELD. THE PILOT RECEIVED CLEARANCE FROM THE TOWER AND LANDED AT CASPER AIRPORT.

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.
