## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT HAD FLOWN AT ALTITUDE FROM AUBURN (AUN), CA, TO SHELTER COVE (0Q5), CA. THE PILOT HAD LEANED THE FUEL MIXTURE WHILE ENROUTE. UPON DESCENT FROM ALTITUDE, HE DID NOT ENRICH THE FUEL MIXTURE. THE APPROACH WAS LONG AND THE PILOT APPLIED POWER TO INITIATE A GO-AROUND. WHEN HE APPLIED POWER, THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND AND THE AIRCRAFT DROPPED TO THE SURFACE.

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

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
