## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT WAS BEING FLOWN ON A PERSONAL ROUND ROBIN FLIGHT ALONE BY A PRIVATE PILOT, THE PILOT LOST POWER AND MADE AN EMERGENCY LANDING APPROXIMATELY 4 MILES FROM HIS INTENDED LANDING AIRPORT. THE LANDING WAS IN AN OPEN FIELD AND WAS ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT ANY INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. AFTER ADDING FUEL TO THE AIRCRAFT THE ENGINE WAS STARTED AND RAN SUCCESSFULLY. THE PILOT HAD COMPLETED A PREFLIGHT AND HAD VISUALLY CHECKED THE TANKS PRIOR TO FLIGHT. HE STATED TO THE NEW JERSEY AERONAUTICS REPRESENTATIVE AT THE SCENE OF THE LANDING THAT THE FUEL WAS NOT QUITE UP TO THE CAPS BUT THAT HE COULD TOUCH IT WITH HIS FINGER. THE DURATION OF THE FLIGHT WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS AND 45 MINUTES. DUE TO THE ROUGH TERRAIN AT THE LANDING SITE THE AIRCRAFT WAS DISSASSEMBLED AND TRUCKED BACK TO 39N FOR REASSEMBLY. AN INVESTIGATION AND REVIEW OF THE LOGBOOKS BY THIS INSPECTOR DID NOT REVEAL ANY ABNORMALITY WITH THE AIRCRAFT AND THAT THE AIRPLANE WAS IN LICENSE WITH ALL AD'S COMPLIED WITH.
