## Narrative

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

(-23) ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2003, AT APPROXIMATELY 1930 CDT, A RV-6 DEPARTING F31 ENROUTE TO GLE HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY LANDING IN AN OPEN PASTURE ABOUT 2S AND 1E OF KINGSTON, OK. AFTER DEPARTING F31 THE PILOT TURNED WEST AND CLIMBED TO APPROX 3000 AND LEVELED OFF, THEN THE PILOT HEARD A POP (BACKFIRE?), AT THAT TIME THE ENGINE QUIT. PILOT ATTEMPTED RESTART, BUT THAT FAILED, HE THEN PICKED A FIELD AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED VERY MINOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY ROUGH LANDING SURFACE. IN ADDITION, THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO EITHER OF THE TWO OCCUPANTS. AFTER GENERAL INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT A CAUSE WAS NOT READILY IDENTIFIABLE, HOWEVER, SOME DEBRIS (CLOTH FIBER, SEALANT?) WAS FOUND IN THE FUEL GASCOLATER WHICH PARTIALLY CLOGGED THE DRAIN PORT.

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.
