## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING A SIGHTSEEING FLIGHT OVER LAKE COEUR D'ALENE THE PROPELLER ATTACH BOLTS SHEARED. THE WOODEN PROPELLER DEPARTED THE AIRCRAFT. THE PILOT SET THE AIRCRAFT DOWN IN A GRASS FIELD KNOWN AS THE "BLACKROCK GOLF COURSE." THE LANDING GEAR LEFT THE AIRFRAME, BUT OVERALL, AIRCRAFT DAMAGE APPEARS MINOR.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)
