## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT STARTED A DESCENT INTO THE BANDON AIRPORT FROM APPROX. 5500 FEET BY REDUCING ENGINE POWER TO A LOW SETTING WITHOUT APPLYING CARB. HEAT. THE AIRCRAFT ARRIVED ON AN APPROX. 2 MILE FINAL APPROACH WITH A WIND FACTOR OF APPROX. 25 KNTS ON THE NOSE. AS THE PILOT APPLIED POWER TO MAKE THE RUNWAY THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND. THE PILOT SWITCHED FUEL TANKS AND CHECKED THE MAG. SWITCH BUT DID NOT APPLY CARB HEAT. DUE TO THE LOW ALTITUDE AND HEAD WIND CONDITION THE PILOT DECIDED TO LAND IN A CRANBERRY FIELD JUST SHORT OF RUNWAY 34, ABOUT ONE MILE SOUTH OF THE AIRPORT. THE AIRCRAFT STALLED JUST ABOVE THE GROUND RIGHT WING LOW, THE RESULTING IMPACT BROKE THE NOSE GEAR OFF AND DID SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT WING AND FUSELAGE.
