## Narrative

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

(-23)DURING TAKE-OFF CLIMB, ENGINE LOST POWER AND QUIT RUNNING. AIRCRAFT WAS LANDED STRAIGHT AHEAD INTO A MUDDY FARM FIELD 300-400 FT. OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY.  NO INJURIES, MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.  POST INSPECTION REVEALED WATER IN THE SUMP OF THE RIGHT HAND FUEL TANK.  INVESTIGATION INDICATES THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS EXPOSED TO HEAVY RAINS PRIOR TO THIS FLIGHT.  PILOT STATES THAT PRE TAKE-OFF RUN UP WAS CONDUCTED WITH THE FUEL SELECTOR ON THE LEFT HAND TANK, BUT THE TAKE OFF WAS INITIATED WITH THE FUEL SELECTOR ON THE RIGHT HAND TANK.

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.
