## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT WAS FLYING HIS EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT IN PHASE 1 OF HIS FLIGHT TEST PLAN. HE HAD FLOWN APPROXIMATELY 4.9 HRS. HE WAS FLYING EAST OF TKI BY LAKE LEVON. HE STARTED LOSING POWER GRADUALLY, AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED BACK TO THE AIRPORT. HE WENT THROUGH HIS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES. NOTIFED THE TOWER THAT HE WOULD BE RETURNING. HE DOESN'T BELIEVE HE DECLARED AN EMERGENCY. THE TOWER ASKED IF HE WOULD MADE THE RUNWAY, AND HE INDICATED THAT HE WOULD. WHEN HE REALIZED THAT HE WOULD NOT, HE NOTIFIED THE TOWER THAT HE WOULD BE LANDING IN THE FIELD SHORT OF THE RUNWAY. THE TOWER DISPATCHED FIRE AND RESCUE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES, AND THE ONLY AIRCRAFT DAMAGE WAS TO THE MAIN GEAR FAIRINGS WHICH HAD SOME DELAMINATION.
