## Narrative

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

(-23) APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES AFTER A NORMAL TAKE OFF AND CLIMB FROM RUNWAY 23 THE PILOT REPORTS HEARING A LOUD BANG OR POP FOLLOWED BY A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. AN EMERGENCY LANDING WAS MADE IN A GRASS FIELD IN WHICH THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED ON ITS LANDING GEAR WHEELS FOR ABOUT 500 FEET, STRUCK A FENCE AND CAME TO A STOP IN A DRAINAGE DITCH.

## 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.
