## Narrative

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

(-23) THE STUDENT PILOT REPORTED THAT WHILE ENROUTE FROM HIS PRIVATE AIRSTRIP NEAR ELMDALE, KS, TO COTTONWOOD FALLS, KS, THE ENGINE FAILED. THE PILOT MADE AN OFF-AIRPORT EMERGENCY LANDING. THE GEAR WAS DAMAGED DURING THE LANDING, BUT THE PILOT WAS UNINJURED.

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.
