## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING CRUISE FLIGHT ENGINE LOSR POWER WHEN PILOT CHANGED FUEL SELECTOR VALVE FROM MAIN TO AUX POSITION. REPOSITION OF FUEL SELECTOR VALVE TO LEFT MAIN AND THEN RIGHT MAIN WITH ELECTRIC BOOST PUMP ON DID NOT RESTART ENGINE. MINIMUM DAMAGE CAUSED BY ROLLING THROUGH SINGLE STRAND BARBED WIRE DURING POWER OFF LANDING IN FARM FIELD.

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.
