## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT DEPARTED KAYENTA AIRPORT ENROUTE TO FLAGSTAFF. DURING CRUISE FLIGHT PILOT NOTICED A REDUCTION IN MANIFOLD PRESSURE. HE STATED THAT HE ADDED MORE THROTTLE. MR. FELDNER THEN STATED THAT A FEW MINUTES LATER HE NOTICED A LARGE DROP IN PRESSURE AND THEN NOTICED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE WAS AT THE RED LINE. HE DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND CALCULATED THAT HE WASN'T GOING TO MAKE THE AIRPORT AND DECIDED TO LAND THE AIRCRAFT ON A ROAD. HE MADE A SUCCESSFUL LANDING BUT ON THE ROLL OUT HE STRUCK A GUARD RAIL WITH THE RIGHT WING. THE RIGHT WING WAS SEVERED FROM THE AIRCRAFT. A POST INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT REVEALED THAT ONE OF THE OIL LINES CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE EXHAUST PIPE FOR THE TURBO CHARGER AND CREATED THE OIL LEAK.
