The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On base the aircraft was at about 5200 feet. On final the aircraft was at 85 KTS. It started to lose altitude so he added power. The pilot said that the engine did not respond normally and then quit. The aircraft landed short of runway 35R at slc. It hit a fence by an ILS antenna, went through the perimeter fence and came to rest 150 feet from runway. The nose wheel broke off, the strut dug into the ground and the aircraft flipped over on its back. The left wing is severely damaged with many deep wrinkles in the skin; the propeller blades are bent back. The top of the vertical stabilizer is damaged. The mixture control was not full rich; it was out about one inch. The propeller was also out about one inch. On November 28, 2005 an engine run was conducted after a serviceable propeller was installed. The engine started and run with no discernable problems.
