## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT WAS MAKING A NIGHT TAKEOFF FROM RUNWAY 20 AT SGF WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY FAILED AT ABOUT 200' AGL. HE ELECTED TO LAND STRAIGHT AHEAD ON THE REMAINING RUNWAY, BUT DID NOT HAVE TIME TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR. MINOR DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE AIRPLANE AND PROPELLER WHEN IT CONTACTED THE GROUND WITHOUT THE LANDING GEAR EXTENDED. THERE WAS FUEL IN ALL FOUR FUEL TANKS AND THE ENGINE HAS SINCE BEEN STARTED AND RUN WITH NO PROBLEMS. INCIDENT ^PRIVACY DATA^ IS CLOSED.
