From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.
What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) While cruising at 4000 ft, the pilot heard a sharp bang, then the aircraft engine lost power. The pilot turned off the ignition system and performed an emergency landing in a farm field. No damage to the landing gear or fuselage. Opening the engine cowling, the pilot discovered a hole (diameter the size of a coke can) at the top of the number four cylinder.
