## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT STATED HE AND PASSENGER WERE IN A DESCENT FROM 7000 MSL TO LAND AT GILLIAM AIRPORT. PILOT STATED HE MONITORED PROP, MIXTURE AND THROTTLE BUT APPLIED NO CARBURETOR HEAT DURING THE DESCENT. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE WAS NOT IN THE PATTERN AS YET AND WAS NOT IN A PATTERN POINT TO APPLY CARBURETOR HEAT. WHEN POWER WAS APPLIED TO STOP DESCENT AND ENTER PATTERN ALTITUDE THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE AND POWER WAS NEVER FULLY RESTORED. THIS RESULTED IN AN OFF AIRPORT LANDING AND SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT WITH NO INJURIES. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: FRESH FUEL WAS ADDED TO THE A/C PRIOR TO TAKEOFF FROM A SYSTEM OWNED BY THE OWNER WHICH HAD RECEIVED A FRESH LOAD OF FUEL THAT DAY PRIOR TO FUELING THE A/C.
