What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The aircraft made a forced landing in a vacant field approximately 2 miles south of the Marine City Airport (76G). Immediately after takeoff, on runway 22, the aircraft lost partial power. In order to avoid hitting the high power tension lines which are approximately 100 ft high, 2800 ft from the end of runway 22, the aircraft flew under the power lines. The aircraft was able to climb enough to clear the area's trees and telephone wires. Shortly after clearing the trees and poles the aircraft was set down in the field at the south west corner of markel and starville roads. The aircraft received substantial damage. The pilot and passenger received minor injuries which were treated at the scene by EMS.
