## Narrative

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

(-23) ABORTED TAKE-OFF FROM AN OFF-AIRPORT FARM PASTURE CAUSING DAMAGE TO NOSE GEAR, PROPELLER, AND SUDDEN STOPPAGE DAMAGE TO ENGINE. THE PILOT, WHO SAID HE WAS THE ONLY OCCUPANT, SAID THE NOSE GEAR FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER HOUR DURING AN ABORT FROM AN ATTEMPTED TAKEOFF FROM A GRASSY FARM PASTURE. SEVERAL EYEWITNESSES SAID THE AIRCRAFT HIT A DIP OR TERRACE IN THE PASTURE AND COLLAPSED THE NOSE GEAR. THIS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS AFTER THE PILOT HAD SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED A NO DAMAGE ENGINE-OUT EMERGENCY LANDING TO AN ADJACENT FIELD ON THE SAME FARM. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE HAD NO INJURIES FROM EITHER THE EMERGENCY LANDING OCCURRENCE OR FROM THE ABORTED TAKE-OFF INCIDENT.

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.
