## Narrative

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

(-23) ENGINE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH FOR A MOMENT THEN QUIT. THE WINDMILLING ENGINE THEN RESTARTED, THEN QUIT AGAIN. THE PILOT MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START, BUT WAS UNABLE. THE PILOT PICKED OUT AN EMERGENCY LANDING SPOT ON A STRAIGHT LEVEL ASPHALT ROAD. A VAN WAS MANEUVERING ON THE ROAD, WHICH REQUIRED THE PILOT'S ATTENTION. THE PILOT SAW A POWER CABLE JUST BEFORE HITTING IT WITH THE MAIN GEAR. THE IMPACT WITH THE CABLE GREATLY DIMINISHED THE AIR SPEED, AND THE AIRCRAFT DROPPED TO THE ROAD, LANDING HARD.

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.
