## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING THE INVESTIGATION AT THE SCENE, THE PILOT RETURNED FROM THE HOSPITAL TO RETRIEVE SOME PERSONAL ITEMS. HE STATED THAT A LOSS OF POWER AND A LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE WERE OBSERVED. HE SELECTED A GRASSY FIELD AS OPPOSED TO A HIGH TRAFFIC ROAD FOR EMERGENCY LANDING. HE APPLIED FLAPS TO SLOW HIS APPROACH. AFTER TOUCHDOWN AND ABOUT A 100' ROLL, THE AIRCRAFT FLIPPED ON ITS BACK, (NOSED OVER) DUE TO PLOWED FURROWS IN THE GROUND OBSCURED BY TALL GRASS. WEATHER WAS NO FACTOR. AIRCRAFT WAS ENROUTE TO GALLATIN, TN (M33) FROM CONWAY, AR (M03), 2 HOURS AND 45 MINUTES INTO THE FLIGHT.
