## Narrative

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

(-23) SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF, AT APPROX. 1500 FEET, THE ENGINE QUIT BUT WAS WINDMILLING. THE PILOT RECOGNIZED A NEARBY FIELD AND LANDED WITH ONLY A NOSE GEAR FAIRING DOOR SLIGHTLY DAMAGED. ENGINE REMOVED TO INVESTIGATE THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE. FAA A/W WILL FOLLOW UP ON THE ENGINE TEAR DOWN TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE.

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.
