## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT STATED THAT HE WAS BREAKING IN A NEW ENGINE ON N935JW. CONTINUING TO DESTINATION WOULD CAUSE A MINIMUM FUEL SITUATION, SO HE DECIDED TO LAND AT FRENCH VALLEY (F-70) FOR FUEL. WHEN DESCENDING THROUGH 6,000 FEET ENGINE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH. HE SWITCHED FUEL TANKS, AND COMPLETED "LOSS OF POWER" CHECKLIST. HE REGAINED PARTIAL POWER HOWEVER NOT ENOUGH TO REACH THE RUNWAY. DITCHING PROCEDURES REQUIRED HIM TO LAND GEAR UP. LANDING WAS SHORT OF RUNWAY OFF OF THE AIRPORT PERIMETER. AIRCRAFT WAS MOVED ON TO AIRPORT AND LOCKED IN PRIVATE HANGAR. ACCESS TO AIRCRAFT WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO INSPECTOR FOR 14 DAYS.

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.
